The appellant, a paralegal prosecutor, was convicted of breach of trust and attempting to obstruct justice for fixing traffic tickets for associates of a police officer with whom she was having an affair.
The police discovered her conduct through intercepted communications, which were subsequently disclosed to her employer.
On appeal, she argued the verdict was unreasonable, the disclosure of the intercepts violated her Charter rights, the convictions violated the Kienapple principle, and the sentence was unfit.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding the trial judge's inferences reasonable, the disclosure lawful under the Criminal Code, the offences distinct, and the conditional sentence appropriate.
