The accused, A.D. was charged with assault on his two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. It was reported by two civilian witnesses and the police immediately arrested him for the offense of assault. He was then held for a showcase hearing. The accused was facing a very serious allegation involving assaulting his infant toddler. There was a very strong case against the accused as the entire incident was caught on CCTV. The crown’s initial position was a suspended sentence and probation. As well as a criminal conviction which would leave him with a criminal record. They wanted the accused to submit a sample of his DNA subject to S.307 of the CC. In addition, they wanted to issue a weapon prohibition order for 10 years subject to S.110 of the Weapons Prohibition Order. Jonathan Pyzer represented the accused and was successfully able to litigate on his behalf and secure an absolute discharge for him. Jonathan Pyzer was able to have no conviction registered against him, no period of probation as well as no DNA order nor a weapon prohibition order.
