R. v. M.P.

(Unreported, Alberta Provincial Court) – Client was charged with armed robbery and aggravated assault arising from a robbery and stabbing in a Calgary liquor store.  Both of the Client’s co-accused plead guilty prior to trial.  Despite having the most jeopardy, the Client would not plead guilty and proceeded to trial.  After conducting several days of trial in 2006 and early in 2007, the Crown stayed all charges against the Client on the basis of numerous issues raised in cross-examination.
