P.F. Band

The accused were charged with dangerous driving, mischief, and conspiracy arising from a large, organized motorcycle ride ('The Ride of the 6ix') that caused traffic stoppages and involved risky maneuvers on highways.

The court acquitted Mr. Lannon of all charges due to insufficient identification evidence.

Mr. Allaudin, identified as the organizer of the ride, was found guilty of mischief as a principal and party for coordinating the traffic stoppages.

However, he was acquitted of dangerous driving and conspiracy, as his own riding did not constitute a marked departure from the standard of care, and the Crown failed to prove he had the requisite knowledge or intent to aid or abet the dangerous riding of others.

The accused was charged with assaulting and uttering a threat to cause death to his wife during a dispute over a cellular phone.

The case turned entirely on credibility, as the accused testified and denied the allegations, claiming he was the victim.

Applying the W.D. framework, the court rejected the accused's evidence as evasive and implausible, and accepted the complainant's evidence as credible and reliable.

The accused was found guilty as charged.
