HUSBAND AND WIFE ABLE TO PUT ASSAULT BEHIND THEM FOLLOWING FRUITFUL CROWN NEGOTIATIONS

R. v. K.


Ms. K was involved in a domestic incident with her husband during their first year of marriage.  The police were called and Ms. K was arrested.  Her husband suffered injuries to his neck, back, shoulders and torso.  This was an incredibly stressful experience for Ms. K as she had never been in trouble with the law before.  Despite this, as a result of the injuries and suspicion that Ms. K may have lied to the police about her husband threatening her with a sword the Crown was asking for a suspended sentence and probation on an early resolution which meant that Ms. K would have a criminal record.

Through negotiation with the Crown, Ms. Bristow was able to obtain a better position wherein Ms. K would complete some counselling and then the Crown would agree to a conditional discharge.  Ms. K was apprehensive about counselling because she did not think she was an angry person.  However, she decided to give it a try and not only excelled in the program, she came out recommending that all people in relationships should take PARs counselling.

Once finished with counselling, Ms. Bristow assisted Ms. K in obtaining a conditional discharge which meant that she will not have a criminal record.  She had to enter a probation with very modest terms and once the probation was over it would turn into an absolute discharge and Ms. K would be deemed not to be convicted.  In the end Ms. K was very happy to put everything behind her and continue working on her relationship with her husband.
