Charges of Assault with a Weapon and Use Imitation Firearm withdrawn prior to trial. The client was charged with having been involved in a road-rage incident. After stopping his vehicle, he allegedly got out, punched the complainant in the head and pulled out a gun. The client retained Christopher Assie as his defence counsel at Neuberger & Partners. After reviewing the disclosure thoroughly, counsel had a number of discussions with the Crown and pointed all of the weaknesses in the case – the most important being that the Crown could not positively prove that the accused was the assailant. The Crown withdrew the charges in exchange for a peace bond. The client was a foreign student and any conviction for the offences would have led to his immediate deportation.
