21. Regina v. M.S.S. [Provincial Court of Alberta, Calgary – October 2014]

MSS was charged with impaired driving, over .08 and multiple traffic violations. According to the police he rear ended two vehicles (1 of which was “totalled”) at a red light and when asked by the police to step from his vehicle he almost fell into oncoming traffic. Patrick Fagan entered pleas of not guilty to all charges and scheduled a trial date. Bottom Line: The case for the prosecution fell apart during the course of the primary investigating officer’s testimony at trial. All charges (including multiple traffic violations) were dismissed or completely withdrawn.
