On appeal from the conviction and sentence of Justice K. L. McKerlie of the Ontario Court of Justice dated May 26, 2004.
A P P E A L B O O K E N D O R S E M E N T
1Like the summary conviction appeal judge, we found the reasons of the trial judge to be exemplary. Her finding that the police provided the appellant with a reasonable opportunity to exercise his right to counsel of choice was fully supported by the evidence and reveals no error of law.
2The appeal is therefore dismissed.
