Criminal law 2011 ONCA 106

R. v. Bernard

The omissions in the trial judge's directions were not fatal: Singh's identification evidence was not central to the Crown's case, defence counsel had already drawn the jury's attention to frailties, other independent evidence could confirm Iqbal's account, and the Vetrovec warning when viewed in the context of the entire charge adequately cautioned the jury; accordingly the appeal was dismissed.

  • Eyewitness identification
  • Vetrovec warning
  • Jury instructions
  • Identification evidence admissibility
