The defendant was charged with multiple offences arising from a domestic violence relationship spanning approximately four months.
The Crown withdrew several charges and invited dismissal of another during trial.
The court found the defendant guilty of assault, forcible confinement, threatening death, and failure to comply with two probation orders to keep the peace.
The court acquitted the defendant of sexual assault, mischief, and one threatening death charge.
The decision turned on the credibility of the complainant and defendant, both substance abusers, but the court found corroborating evidence from third-party witnesses and medical documentation regarding the May 16, 2014 incident persuasive.
