Wiping away tears and in a voice choked with emotion, Thomas Chan uttered “thank you” Thursday during a brief court proceeding on Zoom that concluded his nearly seven-year legal journey that went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada.
This spring, the Supreme Court unanimously upheld the Ontario Court of Appeal’s decision granting Chan a new trial after finding that Section 33.1 of the Criminal Code was unconstitutional, depriving him of access to the nonmental disorder automatism defence. “He has completely turned his life around. At 25 years of age, he is now on the dean’s honour role at university,” Murray said.
While Chan and “many others will have to live with the consequences of the tragedy,” the decision to withdraw his charges “settles once and for all what Mr. Chan’s friends and family have faithfully always known. Thomas Chan is not a criminal,” she told the court.
Still surprised that mushrooms can make someone violent. Most people just 'love everyone' on mushrooms.
What bs nobody stabs someone on shrooms if they hadn’t thought about doing something crazy like that before!
Meanwhile, you don't get bail if you honk your horn.
Yet his father is still dead. Had to wait 4yrs to get away with it. Pathetic!!
Protest against trudeau= Jail. Murder someone while on drugs=hugs and best wishes.
So our constitution defends actual murderers but doesn’t protect law abiding citizens from being discriminated against for their vaccination status. Clown world.
Are you kidding!
