Good.
Why is the article so focused on the defender’s violent past?
Good.
6 months and how much money later for charges that should’ve never been laid ?
Been a good month for self defense in canada
good
Good ! !
Common sense finally prevailed eh! I mean what sort of message is the law sending out to criminals when a victim isn’t allowed to defend themselves and family
You don’t want to get hurt, don’t trespass then.
““I almost lost my life,“ he recounted at a previous court hearing. „I’m cut up from head to toe.“”
Don’t break into peoples homes then. Pretty simple.
Perfect, now that can set a precedence for the future
Enter my house???.
The only bad thing about this, is that the charges should’ve never been laid on the first place. Conduct the investigation, then use that to determine if someone defending their home needs to be charged.
There is absolutely no reason why the police and Crown couldn’t have done their investigation and determined that a conviction was unlikely based on the evidence and never even charged him.
This was simply punishment by process. They don’t want people getting too cozy with the idea of using force to defend themselves, so they charge, drag him to court, cost him thousands of dollars as an example.
There should be a mechanism in place that says the Crown is liable for all costs a defendant incurs if the Crown decides after charging that they might not be able to convict. Determining the likelihood of conviction should be part of deciding if charges are even laid
