R. v. J.E.

(Calgary, P.C.). Client charged with impaired driving and operating a motor vehicle while Over 80. He was acquitted after trial due to a lack of reasonable and probable grounds.  A lesson to investigating criminal driving offences in Calgary or anywhere in Alberta is to pay attention to the details. What many investigators forget is that they need to present evidence of sufficient quality, credibility and reliability to elevate the case to the level expected of a criminal prosecution.  Impaired driving and its related offences sometimes seem like easy convictions for obviously impaired, but when police notes and reports are not properly crafted, experienced criminal defence lawyers can sometimes emphasize frailties in the investigation and evidence.  David Chow has been defending persons charged with impaired driving for over a decade. David is a former Crown prosecutor, an experienced Calgary criminal lawyer and a proven Calgary impaired driving lawyer. Call 403.452.8018.
