Case Summary

The accused was charged with armed robbery and disguise with intent. The Crown alleged he was one of three men who robbed the victim after a woman acted as a decoy. The trial judge found the identification evidence unreliable and accepted that the accused's alibi raised a reasonable doubt about his physical presence at the robbery. However, based on text messages and accomplice testimony, the court found the accused participated extensively in planning the robbery and directing the decoy. The accused was convicted of armed robbery as an aider and abettor, but acquitted of disguise with intent.
