The Queen v. F. (K.) 2015
Client charged with possession for the purposes of trafficking after police executed a warrant at her house and discovered a substantial amount of cocaine. Client hired Mr. van der Walle after the preliminary inquiry as she was unhappy that both of her prior lawyers advised her to plead guilty because she had “no chance” at trial. Mr. van der Walle sent the prosecutor his written argument on why the search warrant was invalid two weeks before the trial. A few days later the charges were dropped. No trial necessary. Not guilty.
