Bank Robbery Charges Stayed At Preliminary Hearing

The Crown this week stayed all bank robbery charges against Magda’s client after her cross-examination of two key police witnesses. Large gaps were uncovered in the police surveillance.

A stay is a direction of the court that the charges not be acted on at least until some other step is taken.

Magda has secured multiple acquittals in jury and judge alone trials, excessive force findings against the police, discharges after preliminary hearings and costs against the Crown Attorney’s office. Magda has represented individuals charged with offences arising out of Project Corral, Project Marvel, Project Arrowhead and Project Kingfisher.
