Any Ontario resident who is facing a criminal charge may experience anxiety -- regardless of whether this is a first or subsequent charge. However, having an experienced criminal defense lawyer on the side of the accused person can relieve the stress. A lawyer can explain the procedures that will follow and protect the rights of the individual.
Ontario Provincial Police recently arrested a 22-year-old man after a fatal car accident. According to a preliminary crash report, the collision occurred on Highway 124 shortly before 7:30 p.m. on a recent Monday. The report revealed no details about the circumstances leading to the accident, which caused the death of a 56-year-old man.
The accused man is facing a charge of Criminal Negligence Causing Death. He was held in custody to await his bail hearing that was scheduled to take place at the Ontario Court of Justice later. The Ontario Provincial Police Crime Unit and the Technical Traffic Collision Investigators are conducting the investigation with the support of the Northeast Regional Support Team. Authorities asked witnesses to the crash to call with relevant information.
At this time, an experienced Ontario criminal defense lawyer can examine the charges and explain their meaning to the accused driver. The lawyer can also explain the required steps related to the court dates to attend and the meeting with the Crown. The accused individual's side of the story will be considered along with the evidence held by the Crown. Based on the available evidence, the lawyer can devise a strong defense to achieve the best possible outcome under the circumstances.
