The defendant, Holly Denise Dean, faced multiple charges of assault and assault with a weapon (pepper spray) arising from a landlord-tenant dispute.
The court found the complainants' evidence credible and the defendant's testimony inconsistent and unreliable.
The court rejected the defendant's claims of self-defence under s. 34 and defence of property under s. 35 of the Criminal Code, concluding that her actions were unreasonable and aggressive.
The defendant was found guilty on all charges.
