The appellant was convicted of manslaughter after striking the victim in the head with a metal bar during an altercation in a truck.
On appeal, the appellant argued that the trial judge erred by failing to correct a misstatement in the Crown's closing address regarding when certain photographs of the truck's interior were taken, and by accepting the jury's verdict before answering a question the jury had asked about those photographs.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding that the misstatement did not require a correcting instruction and that the trial judge acted appropriately in accepting the verdict with the agreement of counsel.
