The defendant was charged with criminal negligence causing death and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death.
The Crown sought to introduce evidence that the defendant removed pizza delivery items from his vehicle after the collision, arguing it showed a consciousness of guilt related to speeding to meet a delivery deadline.
The court ruled the post-offence conduct evidence was admissible, as it was relevant to whether the defendant was speeding or had a motive to speed, subject to a limiting instruction to the jury that it could not be used to elevate the level of culpability to criminal negligence or dangerous driving.
