APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
1It is well established that hybrid offences are deemed indictable until the Crown elects otherwise. In this case the Crown elected to proceed by indictment. After being informed of his right to a jury trial, the appellant elected to be tried in the Ontario Court and pleaded guilty following a full guilty plea inquiry. The appellant has served his sentence. We see no basis on which to interfere with the convictions.
2The appeal is dismissed.
