The applicant sought certiorari to quash his committal to stand trial on charges of robbery and disguise with intent.
The Crown's case relied on DNA evidence found on two pieces of clothing used as a disguise, which were discovered near the scene of the robbery shortly after it occurred.
The applicant argued that without proof of when the DNA was deposited, there was insufficient evidence to commit him.
The reviewing judge dismissed the application, finding it was open to the preliminary inquiry judge to conclude there was sufficient evidence upon which a reasonable jury could convict.
