[REDACTED]
Christina Lynch, for Crown
Matthew Friedberg,
for Accused
Released: March 1, 2006
O'Connor J.
Ruling
The accused was charged with assault with weapon following an
investigation by the Children's Aid Society (CAS) into whether he was
physically abusing his children. The accused made incriminating statements to a
CAS worker during the investigation that the Crown wished to introduce into
evidence against him. The Court excluded the evidence as the workers' notes
were incomplete summaries of what was said by the accused and would not provide
a full and complete explanation for the trier of fact.
