🗣️ PSA: IT'S NOT A "GOOD DEAL" (YES, EVEN DIVERSION), IF MY CLIENT HASN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG. Do not let prosecutors gaslight you into thinking you're being unreasonable when you reject anything short of a withdrawal in cases where your client is factually innocent.

Hey @NBA There's been a lot of talk about how to make the game more exciting. Here's a crazy idea that just might work. Maybe, just maybe, make the All-Star weekend about BASKETBALL again?

@lawandchocolate If I were the judge: Adjournment granted. Also, don't ask how, but it shall be noted as Crown delay.

@lawandchocolate I try! But sometimes it’s tough when they weren’t the one making the complaint and it gets confusing. I agree with the principle behind your comment but on occasion “complainant” doesn’t work either.

Please, colleagues, I beg of you: start using the term "complainant" rather than "victim" prior to findings of guilt being made.

@bluejayscott I also feel as though motive to fabricate is much more compelling for a juror vs. a judge who may have heard versions of that same argument ad nauseum (e.g. family court leverage, cheating, etc.).

Can any trial lawyer give me one compelling reason why you would ever go judge alone vs. jury in a he said/she said case?

@bluejayscott Good points - but I've run two SA jury trials without my client testifying and they've come back to acquit. For me, it's a numbers game. It's much harder to convince 12 jurors BARD vs. 1 judge.

@Ines_Gavran It's unfortunate that you cannot choose judges.

You know you're in for an unproductive conversation with your inmate client when he starts with, "so, my cellmate told me..."

Recently I had a jury trial and pretrial motions go down because the Crown withdrew the charges after filing Charter materials. I would have been paid significantly more had I done no Charter and pushed forward with the pretrial motions and the jury trial. Make it make sense.

There's a problem with how Legal Aid Ontario pays lawyers: it incentivizes bad work. Block fee for guilty plea? Ok, then a lawyer who spends hours on prepping and going "open" on sentencing receives the same pay as a lawyer that does no work and takes a joint position.

Congratulations to Harpreet Saini, who used his keen legal writing skills to draft and send an email convincing the Crown to provide initial disclosure to him, avoiding the need for a hearing. The Crown responded that his request would be sent to the appropriate staff member.
