In a pre-trial voir dire for a second-degree murder case, the court ruled on the admissibility of a 911 call and a police statement made by the accused.
The court found that the accused was not detained during the 911 call and that his participation was voluntary.
Furthermore, the court held that the accused's subsequent statement to a detective was voluntary under the Oickle standard and that his section 10(b) Charter right to counsel was not violated.
Both the 911 call and the police statement were ruled admissible at trial.
