A Toronto judge has blasted a Crown attorney for his “inaction” in getting a serious shooting case to trial, as he failed to respond to multiple requests for evidence from the defence in a matter that ended up being tossed for delay.
“On the evidence before me, the trajectory of this case falls well below the standards normally associated with the Toronto Crown Attorney’s Office,” wrote Ontario Court Justice Katrina Mulligan in a decision released last week, staying firearm and assault causing bodily harm charges against a man accused of shooting another during an altercation in June 2023.
