At a preliminary inquiry, the Crown sought to commit the accused to trial for charges arising from a home invasion robbery on July 30, 2017.
The accused was charged with assault with a weapon, robbery, break and enter with assault, conspiracy, and possession of a weapon.
The Crown relied on video surveillance evidence rather than eyewitness identification.
The accused challenged committal, arguing the video quality was insufficient to identify him.
The court found the video was not sufficiently clear for direct identification but constituted circumstantial evidence of identity when considered with the accused's arrest the following day while wearing the same shirt seen in the video and being found in the registered vehicle of a co-accused.
