R. v. A.B., 2024 ONCA 111 - Crown breached the appellant’s confidential informant privilege when it disclosed this subject matter to a co-accused. Trial judge dismissed stay application. @ONCA_en correctly decides stay of proceedings must be entered.

A broken bail system from what perspective? We should all be concerned that 82% of provincial inmates in Ontario are in custody awaiting trial. That’s 82% of people who are presumptively innocent. 82% of people who have been denied their liberty. https://t.co/wM5a1wKQBZ

Thanks to @mattgallowaycbc and @TheCurrentCBC for inviting me on the show to discuss why serious criminal cases in Ontario are being tossed because of court delays. https://t.co/blKUalHqJy

Premiers and others calling for more pretrial detention in the name of public safety should compare the number of deaths of people remanded in custody with the number of deaths caused by those released on bail.

Melissa Chatzimanolakis’ brother Anthony died while awaiting trial at an Ontario jail late last month, marking one of the latest amongst an increasing number of inmate deaths in recent years – but she’s refusing to let him become “a sad statistic.”

Anthony Chatzimanolakis was hoping to be released on bail a few weeks from now. Instead, his family and fiancé are planning his funeral.

“We are angry, upset, confused … how did Anthony lose his life in a facility that is meant to rehabilitate?"

Anthony Chatzimanolakis was arrested in 2022 on charges including car theft and possessing a loaded gun. His case was still before the courts, and he had not been convicted. https://t.co/hG5TiaADJR

Anthony Chatzimanolakis, 30, died in pre-trial custody in a Toronto jail in March. His family and lawyer say the man was in need of medical attention and that the province owes its inmates a duty of care.

The family of Anthony Chatzimanolakis is looking for answers after the 30-year-old died while in custody at the South Toronto Detention Centre in Etobicoke in late March. @DavidZuraCityTV https://t.co/3DVDuMUZez

“Canada has dramatically increased its use of pretrial detention, with a 400-per-cent rise in the number of prisoners in remand since the late 1970s. But we are almost certainly not safer. Instead, we are filling our detention centres with more and more non-violent offenders….”

Breaking: happy to announce Bill-5’s amendments to the Criminal Code reinstating conditional sentences and eliminating mandatory minimums has just become law and received Royal Assent.

[Criminal Lawyers’ Association @ClaOntario]

Today’s @SCC_eng decision in R v. Sharma drives home the importance of Bill C-5. We call on the @SenateCA to pass C-5 quickly so that judges once again have discretion to craft fit sentences that take into account experiences with #systemicracism.

Breaking: The Ford Governmemt has passed controversial legislation that allows it to impose a contract on education support workers and invokes the notwithstanding clause so they can't fight it in court. Tomorrow's strike will be officially illegal. #onpoli

@johnstruthers law firms, lawyers, students and defendants alike, thank you for your admirable leadership which allowed us all to maintain confidence and pride in what we do during an unprecedented time. We wish you the very best in life and in health!

[Peter Sankoff @petersankoff]

If you're a lawyer filing any kind of affidavit by your client in a voir dire, you need to be aware of this case. If you're a lawyer who does this outside of Ontario, you'll need to challenge it. This is a huge concern for accused persons. https://t.co/6jGDd3NRuR

@MarcSciars @SAbotossaway Winning isn’t always in the cards. Sometimes a loss is necessary to make way for an appeal that may change the landscape of law in a particular area. Appreciate the wins and savour the losses, they will make you better. 👏🏼

[TRUSCELLO NAIR LLP @truscellonair]

@MarcSciars @SAbotossaway This is exactly the type of advice lawyers need. It’s about putting up the best fight for your client. I was actually told by a lawyer, senior to me that a trait that he admired about me was my ability to transfer my energy into the next case so quickly after a win or a loss.
