It’s 35 degrees today and all charges against my client in Canmore Provincial Court were withdrawn.
The client had been charged with uttering threats, two breaches of recognizance, and an assault in domestic violence allegations. The Crown initially wanted guilty pleas, a suspended sentence, a criminal record, and probation.
I was ultimately able to negotiate the withdrawal of all charges against my client, who entered into a peace bond instead. This kept his record free of a conviction and helped keep his family together.
So I dressed like Matlock.
