The accused was charged with break and enter and committing aggravated assault as a party to the offence.
Two men broke into the victim's motel cabin and repeatedly stabbed him.
The accused arrived with the assailants, waited outside the cabin during the attack, and fled with them.
The Crown alleged she acted as a lookout and aided or abetted the crime.
The court found that while the attack was targeted and the accused likely knew of it, mere presence is insufficient for party liability.
The Crown failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused provided actual assistance or encouragement.
The charge was dismissed.
