The accused was charged with criminal negligence causing death, dangerous driving causing death, impaired driving causing death, and driving with a blood alcohol concentration over 80 mg causing death following a single motor vehicle rollover.
The sole issue at trial was the identity of the driver.
The court heard evidence from civilian witnesses, police, and expert witnesses on collision reconstruction and occupant kinematics.
The court rejected the defence expert's opinion that the deceased was the driver and accepted the Crown's expert evidence, along with civilian testimony and physical evidence, concluding beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused was the driver.
The accused was found guilty on all counts.
