Charges of Utter Death Threats, Possession of a Dangerous Weapon and Assault with a Weapon withdrawn prior to setting a trial date. J.Y. had been living with his girlfriend for a year and the two were experiencing a deterioration of their relationship. During an argument about who should be the one to move out, J.Y. took a pair of scissors and threatened to cut up the complainant’s favorite stuffed animal. The complainant called 911 and gave a statement that she felt physically threatened and J.Y. was charged. Joseph Neuberger was retained as the criminal defence lawyer Toronto. After careful review of the evidence, Joseph Neuberger sent J.Y. for counselling regarding conflict management and healthy skills in dealing with relationships. A report was provided to the Crown and on the facts there was no threat at all toward the complainant, only the stuffed animal. Charges withdrawn.
