Episode Details

The Crown seeks a new trial in a Vancouver Island sexual assault case, challenging a judges decision to stay charges due to missed trial deadline. The dispute revolves around a vast number of text messages from a complainants phone, with the Crown arguing they had to protect privacy rights while meeting legal obligations. The defense contends the case was not complex and the prosecution mishandled the disclosure process, potentially showing complainants were not truthful. The Crown admits errors but insists releasing private data without a fight would harm complainants. The appellate court has heard arguments and will issue a decision later.
