FIREARM POSSESSION
R. v. A.M. | 2024 | Toronto
Client came to me with three interconnected cases. The police had been investigating his Instagram account and executed a search warrant on a residence he had ties to looking to seize his devices (phone, computer, tablets, etc.). In addition to locating electronics, they also found a gun inside a satchel, inside a closet, in the bedroom the client had been sleeping in. After beating both cases related to his Instagram account (one the crown withdrew and the other we won at trial), we successfully defended the gun charges when the Crown failed to establish he had knowledge of the firearm. After three long years on restrictive bail conditions, he finally cut off the ankle monitor and remains without a criminal record.
