The appellant appealed his conviction for second degree murder, arguing that the trial judge erred by failing to give a Vetrovec warning to the jury.
The Supreme Court of Canada held that the appropriateness of a Vetrovec warning does not raise a question of law, meaning there was no appeal as of right.
Furthermore, the Court concluded that even if it had jurisdiction, the failure to give the warning did not result in a miscarriage of justice in the circumstances of this case.
The appeal was dismissed.
