The Cormier Simard criminal law firm was defending a client charged with producing cannabis plants (Section 7 Controlled Drugs and Substances Act). The client admitted he was guilty. Mr Xavier Cormier’s intern negotiated with the Prosecutor in order to find a solution to avoid the client having a criminal record.
The charge was reduced from marijuana production to simple possession. The client made a charity donation, and the Judge granted him an absolute discharge given the Prosecutor’s suggestion.
Not all Mr Xavier Cormier’s clients receive a discharge. See notice.
