Subject Criminal Decision Content COURT OF APPEAL FOR ONTARIO CITATION: R. v. Lee, 2019 ONCA 140 DATE: 20190222 DOCKET: C62393 MacPherson, Sharpe and Tulloch JJ.A. BETWEEN Her Majesty the Queen Respondent and Wai Leung (Patrick) Lee Appellant Wai Leung (Patrick) Lee, in person Amy Ohler, duty counsel Jessica Smith Joy, for the respondent Heard and released orally: February 13, 2019 On appeal from the conviction entered on June 17, 2016 by Justice Kenneth L. Campbell of the Superior Court of Justice, sitting with a jury. REASONS FOR DECISION [1] We have carefully considered the detailed submissions of Mr. Lee as outlined in his further supplementary appeal book. [2] The grounds of appeal essentially raise questions of facts as found by the jury. No questions of law are raised by the appellant and we are satisfied that there was evidence to support the jury’s verdict. [3] There are no grounds raised in this appeal that would justify appellate intervention. [4] Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. “J.C. MacPherson J.A.” “Robert J. Sharpe J.A.” “M. Tulloch J.A.”
