Crown withdraws Fantino charges: No hope of conviction says Rupic, McHale outraged and vows to appeal to superior Court of Justice

When it come to Public Relations, this is how it’s done. Quick and painless, a mere blip on the radar for Ontario Liberal Premier Dalton McGuinty. Bullet dodged. Justice has been served, case closed.

Crown Milan Rupic told Justice of the Peace Dan MacDonald that there as no prospect of obtaining a conviction in the case.
Rupic told Ontario Court in Cayuga that there is a low threshold of evidence for laying a private charge. But he said the Crown applies a much higher standard of evidence in determining if a charge should proceed. In this case, he said, there was no hope of a conviction.
