The Crown brought a pre-trial motion to admit two bodies of evidence in a first-degree murder trial.
The evidence related to the accused's alleged prior possession of two handguns used in the homicide.
The first body of evidence consisted of cell phone photographs showing the accused with a revolver similar to one of the murder weapons.
The second body of evidence involved the accused's presence at a prior shooting where the second murder weapon was discharged.
The court ruled both bodies of evidence admissible, finding that their probative value in establishing the accused's identity and access to the murder weapons outweighed their prejudicial effect as prior discreditable conduct, subject to potential editing and admissions to limit prejudice.
