Charges of Domestic Assault, Utter Threats and Mischief to Property all withdrawn prior to setting trial date, Toronto. The complainant had been living with W.E. for about 8 months. The complainant had a alcohol abuse issue. On the night of the charges W.E. was concerned about the level of intoxication of the complainant and had asked her to leave his apartment. The complainant left but returned a few hours later. All of her clothes were packed and outside the apartment. The complainant entered the apartment and an argument ensued that became physical. W.E. called 911 and when police arrived and interviewed both parties, W.E. got charged. Joseph Neuberger was retained as the criminal lawyer. The complainant’s statement was literally nonsensical and the police notes disclose that the complainant was highly intoxicated. W.E. had injuries in the form of fresh scratches. During pre-trials the Crown had to be reminded that W.E. was on the lease and his girlfriend was a guest and not a tenant. He had full right to ask her to leave and to defend himself. The chares were withdrawn.
