Anthony K. Graburn

The appellant appealed his convictions, arguing the verdicts were unreasonable.

The Court of Appeal found sufficient evidence for most convictions but noted a serious discrepancy regarding the prostitution charge involving a newspaper ad that the trial judge failed to address.

The appeal was allowed in part, with a new trial ordered for the prostitution charge, while the remaining convictions were upheld.

The sentence appeal was abandoned.

The appellant appealed his convictions for fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud arising from the operation of a food bank.

He argued the trial judge misapprehended accomplice evidence, failed to apply a Vetrovec warning, and erred in drawing inferences from fraudulent non-profit receipts.

The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no misapprehension of evidence, sufficient caution applied to the accomplice's testimony, and that the trial judge's inferences regarding the receipts were reasonably supported by the record.
