R. v. R.W.

(Calgary, P.C.). R.W. was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine and possession for the purpose of trafficking Ketamine. The case was defended by Calgary drug lawyer, David Chow.  The defence unsuccessfully argued for the exclusion of evidence due to violations of the accused’s right to counsel. The case was then argued on its merits, which included having to present evidence to overcome an alleged confession. The judge was left with a reasonable doubt and acquitted the accused of being in possession “for the purpose of trafficking” and being in possession of the “proceeds of crime”. The accused was convicted of simple possession of cocaine and ketamine and fined accordingly. He avoided a 3 year starting point jail sentence.
