What the Crown Must Prove

To convict you, the Crown must prove:

• Identity: That it was you who committed the offence.

• Jurisdiction: That the court has authority to hear your case.

• Timeliness: That the charge was laid within the required time limits.

• Every Element of the Offence: Each charge — whether impaired driving, domestic assault, theft, fraud, or sexual offences — comes with specific legal requirements. If even one is missing, the case can fall apart.

🔍 Real Example: Why Early Legal Advice Matters

“I just wanted to speak to a lawyer first.”
That’s what Ronald Manninen told police when he was arrested.
But they ignored his request and kept questioning him.
The Supreme Court of Canada later ruled that his rights were violated.
Because of that, key evidence was excluded — and his conviction was overturned.

The case of R. v. Manninen (1987) reminds us that getting legal advice early can protect your rights — and your future.
