The police, responded to the complainants call and while searching the surrounding area located five young offenders matching the descriptions given by the complainant. They were alleged to be in possession of property they had obtained through crime. During the police investigation the accused R.N. made inculpatory statements, acknowledging that the property he possessed in his bag had been obtained by crime. Jonathan Pyzer successfully represented R.N.. During pre-trial discussions, Mr. Pyzer was able to convince the Crown to withdraw R.N’s charge upon his completion of the diversion program. R.N. was able to avoid a criminal record.
