The accused was acquitted of criminal harassment and uttering threats due to the complainant's lack of credibility.
The accused was charged with criminal harassment, threatening to cause death, and breaches of probation arising from allegations made by his ex-wife during access visits to their daughter in January and February 2011.
The Crown's case relied primarily on the testimony of the ex-wife, who alleged the accused damaged her vehicle, followed her, and made threatening statements.
The accused's daughter testified that the alleged threatening phone conversation did not occur as described.
The court granted a directed verdict on the harassment charge due to lack of evidence and acquitted the accused on all remaining counts, finding the complainant's credibility undermined by her emotional state regarding custody issues and her admission that she had not actually witnessed the alleged following.
