Client charged with eighteen counts of serious firearms manufacturing and possession offences and facing potential lengthy prison sentence if found guilty. The Crown’s case seemed strong, but Ms. Shamess challenged the production orders and search warrants police used to obtain the evidence, and the judge agreed with Ms. Shamess that the searches violated the client’s Charter right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure. Ms. Shamess argued that all the evidence should be excluded from trial, and the judge agreed, resulting in the client being found NOT GUILTY of all charges.
