The defendant was charged with assault, assault with a weapon (knife), assault by strangling, and threatening to cause death, stemming from two incidents in August and December 2020.
The case involved conflicting testimony between the complainant and the defendant's daughter, as well as inconsistencies between the complainant's testimony and medical records.
Applying the principles of R. v. W(D), the court found the complainant's testimony lacked confidence and the defence evidence raised reasonable doubt.
All charges were dismissed.
