The Crown sought to admit expert evidence in a first-degree murder trial.
The court, acting as gatekeeper, reviewed the qualifications and reports of seven proposed expert witnesses.
While the defence conceded the admissibility of most experts, the court ruled on the scope of their evidence.
The court accepted experts in DNA analysis, photogrammetry, gunshot residue, and firearms examination.
However, the court expressed concerns regarding the clarity of reports and the current qualifications of two experts in phone analysis and phone functionality, requiring further clarification or a voir dire before their evidence could be admitted.
