The accused was charged with attempted murder and firearms offences following a drive-by shooting.
The Crown relied on circumstantial evidence linking the accused to the firearm used and the getaway vehicle.
The court found that while the accused was involved as the driver of the vehicle, the Crown failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he had the requisite mens rea for party liability to attempted murder, as there was insufficient evidence he knew the shooter intended to kill the victim.
The accused was acquitted of attempted murder but convicted of the firearms offences.
