Charge of impersonating a police officer withdrawn at trial as a result of defence lawyer Joseph Neuberger proving, in cross-examination of the main Crown witness, motive to fabricate the evidence. The client was alleged to have identified himself as a police officer and to have flashed a police business card. The witness and his spouse in fact were under investigation for insurance fraud. The client was working for the insurance company. Once the investigation was established and that the witness knew that I.C. was working with the insurance company, the Crown determined that there was no reasonable prospect of conviction and withdrew the charge.
