Criminal law 2023 ONCA 536

R. v. Whatcott

The Court allowed the Crown's appeal because the trial judge misapplied the necessity and gatekeeping principles for expert evidence (Mohan/White Burgess) by excluding Professor Mulé's evidence explaining how the flyer employed established anti-gay tropes; that legal error rendered the evidentiary record incomplete and could have materially affected the acquittal, thereby requiring a new trial.

  • Admissibility of expert evidence (mohan/white burgess)
  • Prior discreditable conduct evidence
  • Holistic analysis of expressive material
