1. Any reasonable Crown would conclude, in deciding whether to commence this prosecution, it didn't meet the standard to prosecute. Soon after the trial started, it would have been more obvious & that increased until the evidence concluded. Even then,...

2. ...the below quote from it was pointed out as insight.
But, the role of a prosecutor "is not to obtain a conviction" but to see that justice is done in a fair process. The Crown must constantly evaluate whether a conviction is likely & consider the public interest.

That is not the case here. The judge exonerated the accused, saying that based on the facts "actual consent was given."

The idiots at @Fanatics right now:
This was one of my favourite Sankoff Seminars.
I strongly recommend this particular seminar and subscribing to @ProfSankoffsCDE generally.
Remember that no matter how busy you are, you have to take some time out of your schedule to sharpen the tools in your toolbox.
Howdy #LawTwitter folks.
I have a pretty interesting manslaughter case in London from October 16th to 27th.
If any law students at Western or Fanshawe would like to observe, I invite them with open arms.
email me [email protected] or text me 519-792-9391.
My client is 3rd on the indictment, I'm 3rd in terms of counsel seniority, and we are aligned with co-accused on many issues, so I will be uniquely prepared to offer insight to students that would make this a more active learning experience than typical trial observation.

I just thought of a submission I should've made yesterday so looks like I won't be sleeping this month and on random nights here and there for the rest of my life.

Very happy and proud to announce that Jennifer Penman has been appointed as a Justice of the Superior Court in Toronto. Justice Penman will serve with the same integrity, intelligence and commitment that she demonstrated so often as counsel.
