The accused, Conrey Zavier Francis, was charged with armed robbery, using an imitation firearm, and disguising his face in connection with two bank robberies on January 2, 2015.
The Crown's case relied on eyewitness identification, security video footage, and text messages.
The court found significant inconsistencies in eyewitness descriptions of the perpetrator's height, weight, skin color, race, and the hand used to hold the weapon.
An in-dock identification was deemed unreliable.
The security videos were of poor quality, and the text messages were open to multiple interpretations.
Consequently, the court was not satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt of the accused's identity and acquitted him on all charges.
