Counsel: Tonii Roulston
Offence: Assault (266 CC), and Failure to Comply with a Court Order x 3 (145 (5) (a) CC x 3)
Result: Twelve-month Conditional Discharge
Our client was charged with assault and failure to comply with a court order. Our client was struggling with substance abuse issues, was in rehab, had a supportive family, and was attending counselling. Tonii Roulston was able to negotiate a global resolution for all charges by highlighting the client’s progress in counselling, the lifestyle changes he made, his support system, and issues in the complainant’s credibility. As a result, the client received a conditional discharge and will have no criminal record after three years once he completes probation.
