A 19-year-old Canadian citizen with no criminal record was charged with 13 offences including attempt murder, occupying a motor vehicle with a firearm, and related firearms offences arising from a shooting incident in Toronto.
The Crown sought detention on primary, secondary, and tertiary grounds in a reverse onus hearing.
The accused proposed a plan of house arrest with two sureties (his mother and sister).
The court found the Crown's case was circumstantial with significant evidentiary weaknesses regarding the identity of the getaway driver.
The court granted release on strict conditions, finding the accused had met his onus on all three grounds.
