The accused pleaded guilty to criminal harassment and breach of probation.
At sentencing, the Crown sought to introduce expert evidence from Detective Sergeant Kelly Grubb regarding a threat assessment report.
The defence objected to admissibility.
The court conducted a voir dire and ultimately dismissed the Crown's application to admit the expert evidence, finding that it failed to meet the necessity requirement under the Mohan test and that the reliability of the threat assessment based on the SARA was insufficient to justify admission.
