Counsel: Andrea Urquhart and Tonii Roulston
Offence: Conspiracy to commit murder
Result: Not guilty of conspiracy to commit murder
The Accused HN was charged with conspiracy to commit murder. After a lengthy trial Justice Hughes found HN not guilty of conspiracy to commit murder.
HN was also charged on a separate file with possession of a loaded handgun. The handgun was seized after the police executed a search warrant on his residence. A Charter notice was filed by Andrea arguing that the search warrant was improperly obtained as the police left out key details in their application for the warrant. Shortly before trial the Crown Prosecutor withdrew the charges against HN.
