Charges of Robbery, Forcible Confinement, Assault x 2 withdrawn on the morning of trial. The complainant had alleged that the accused had forced him into his car, beat him, stolen his watch, taken him out of the car and beat him again. Criminal defence lawyer Christopher Assie elected to go straight to trial without having a preliminary inquiry, thus saving the client the additional legal fees. Counsel met with several of accused’s witnesses and prepared them for trial. On the morning of trial, counsel advised the prosecuting Crown of the multiple witnesses that were prepared to testify as to a completely different version of events. After discussions with counsel, the prosecuting Crown realized she had no reasonable prospect of conviction and offered to withdraw the charges in exchange for a peace bond. The client R.R. was happy with the result as it guaranteed that he continued to have no criminal record.
