The accused was charged with assault, assault with a weapon, and uttering threats against his former girlfriend.
The Crown's case relied entirely on the complainant's testimony, while the accused denied the allegations and testified that the relationship ended due to the complainant's jealousy.
Applying the W.D. framework for credibility assessments, the court found both the complainant and the accused to be believable witnesses.
However, the evidence of the accused and his brother left the court with a reasonable doubt.
The accused was acquitted of all charges.
