Cases Involving Weapons Offences:
R. v. R.M.
Ruben Miller, an 18-year old kid, was out in the early morning hours, on his way to meet some friends at the back of a school. As he approached the parking lot, he noticed that the police were there investigating his friends. Knowing that he had marihuana in his car, Ruben decided to continue driving and avoid a confrontation with the police. One of the police officers saw him drive by and decided to investigate. Ruben was pulled over and his vehicle was searched. The police discovered some marihuana, a scale, and a “flick knife”. Ruben was arrested and charged with dangerous driving, possession of marihuana, and possession of a prohibited weapon. Ruben insisted that he was driving in a safe manner and did nothing to draw the attention of the police. The police officer insisted otherwise. At trial, Ruben was acquitted of all charges.
R. v. N.B.
Nathan Balilalingam was a high school student who ran with the wrong crowd. One day he and one of his friends, Chris Paralingam, confronted a group of kids who they had some problems with. An argument ensued and then Paralingam pulled out a gun and fired it in the direction of the group. Everyone fled. Eventually, Balilalingam was arrested and charged with pointing a firearm, possessing a weapon for a purpose dangerous to the public peace, assault with a weapon, and uttering death threats. At his preliminary hearing, he was committed to stand trial on all charges despite the defence’s arguments that there was no evidence that Balilalingam was a party to any of the offences. The defence brought an application to have the preliminary hearing judge’s decision reversed. Upon reading the application materials, the Crown withdrew all charges against Mr. Balilalingam. Read the factum (written legal argument) that lead to a complete victory for Balilalingam.
