The accused, charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault, brought an O'Connor application seeking third-party records from the investigating police service.
The requested records included the training records of the interrogating officers and gang intelligence information regarding several witnesses.
The court dismissed the application, finding that the officers' training was irrelevant to the voluntariness of the accused's statements, which depends on the officers' actual conduct.
The court also held that the gang intelligence information was protected by informer privilege and that compelling its production would improperly conscript the police to conduct investigations on behalf of the defence.
