The accused's statement was excluded as involuntary due to partial cautions and potential inducements.
The court considered the admissibility of two statements made by Lovepreet Singh, charged with dangerous driving causing death.
The first was a roadside statement to police while Singh was being treated for burns; the second was an audio-recorded statement at the hospital.
The Crown sought to admit only the hospital statement.
The court found that the Crown had not proven voluntariness beyond a reasonable doubt, citing concerns about an unrecorded pre-statement conversation, a partial caution, and potential inducement.
The hospital statement was excluded as involuntary.
