The client was found guilty at trial of arson, disregard for human life, and improper storage of a firearm. Robin successfully argued at the Court of Appeal that the Trial Judge erred in law when he relied on the 9-11 phone call to bolster the credibility of the Crown witness. As a result, the conviction was set aside, and a new trial was ordered.
