R. v. E.C. – Vancouver Provincial Court

Charge: Assault with Weapon.

Issue: Whether the Crown could prove our client was the individual who committed the offence.

Result: Our client was charged with assaulting the victim with a sword. The sole issue at trial was whether Crown could prove the identity of the attacker.  After Mr. Johnston‘s cross-examinaton of the Crown witnesses at trial, the trial judge found that our client could not be identified on the video or by eyewitnesses. Not guilty. No criminal record.
