The accused was charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault following a knife attack outside a bar.
The attack occurred shortly after a heated verbal altercation inside the bar involving racial slurs.
The court applied the W. (D.) framework and rejected the accused's testimony, relying on eyewitness recognition and video surveillance to prove identity beyond a reasonable doubt.
However, applying Ancio, the court found the Crown failed to prove the specific intent to kill required for attempted murder.
The accused was acquitted of attempted murder but convicted of aggravated assault.
