The defendant was charged with four offences arising from an incident on October 19, 2013: assault causing bodily harm, possession of a weapon for a purpose dangerous to the public peace, carrying a concealed weapon, and being unlawfully in a dwelling-house.
The Crown and defence agreed to a directed verdict of acquittal on the weapon charges.
At trial, the court found the defendant guilty of unlawfully entering a dwelling-house with intent to commit an indictable offence (mischief), but acquitted him of assault causing bodily harm due to insufficient evidence regarding how the complainant's arm was cut.
