Client charged with Fail to Comply with Bail found not guilty after trial in the Ontario Court of Justice. The client who had worked for a jewelry store was originally charged with allegedly plotting to kill a rival owner of a store in the same plaza. After the main charges were withdrawn, M.K. was charged with allegedly breaching bail by walking by and standing near the complainant’s store. Defence lawyer Joseph Neuberger challenged the legal validity of the charge on the basis that the evidence did not even disclose an offence as M.K. by a bail variation was allowed to “walk by” the store. The Crown attempted to argue that “walk by” meant not stopping. This argument was rejected by the court and the client was found not guilty.
