The accused was charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, and assault against his father, assault with a weapon against his sister, and two counts of failure to comply with probation orders.
The offences arose from a violent incident in the family home in the early morning hours of October 17, 2019.
The Crown called two witnesses—the father and sister—whose testimony was corroborated by security footage, a 911 recording, and photographs of injuries.
The accused did not testify or call evidence.
The court found the accused guilty of assault and assault with a weapon but rejected the aggravated assault charge, finding instead the lesser included offence of assault causing bodily harm.
The court acquitted on the failure to comply charges based on the de minimus principle.
