The appellant appealed his conviction for child pornography offences, arguing the trial judge erred in admitting his statement to police.
He claimed he was under the influence of a prescription medication overdose and lacked an operating mind, and that the Crown's failure to call two police officers who had contact with him deprived the court of corroborating evidence.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no rule requires the Crown to call every officer, and holding that the trial judge's conclusion that the statement was voluntary was well supported by the videotape and other witness testimony.
