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.
