Practice and Procedure

R v DEREK MICHAEL BARNES (2005)

PUBLISHED May 11, 2005
SHARE

The offender's convictions for robbery and grievous bodily harm were safe as fresh evidence from an arboriculturalist, which suggested that a finger print lift relied upon by the Crown was not taken from a door of the crime scene, was not admissible as the arboriculturalist lacked the relevant experience or expertise, and the evidence would not have affected the jury's verdict.
