DELAY IN RIGHTS TO COUNSEL LEADS TO DISMISSAL OF FENTANYL AND FIREARM CHARGES

A firearm and a large quantity of fentanyl were excluded from trial after the police

withheld rights to counsel. Magda successfully brought a Charter application arguing that

Toronto Police officers intentionally breached her client’s right to speak to a lawyer. A

lawyer call is a lifeline for anyone under detention or arrest and should be provided

immediately. July 2022
