The Queen v. S.(J.) 2016
Client was charged with forcible entry, uttering threats, and possession of weapon for a purpose dangerous to the public peace after an altercation that was observed by a number of people who were attending church got out of hand. A bat was produced during the conflict and allegedly there were threats made to use a gun. Mr. van der Walle elected trial by jury and requested a preliminary inquiry be held to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the Crown’s case. On the day the preliminary inquiry was set to begin, the Crown prosecutor accepted a resolution that had the client enter into a peace bond in exchange for all charges being dropped by way of a stay of proceedings. Not guilty of all charges. No trial necessary.
