The appellant appealed his convictions for assault and his 34-month sentence arising from intimate partner violence.
He argued the trial judge erred in instructing the jury on myths and stereotypes regarding delayed reporting and returning to an abusive relationship.
The Court of Appeal found no legal error, concluding the jury was properly equipped to assess credibility.
The court also dismissed the sentence appeal but reduced the sentence by one month to remedy post-conviction Charter breaches involving arbitrary detention and an unlawful strip search after bail pending appeal was granted.
