A client of criminal lawyer Xavier Cormier was charged with uttering death threats (Section 264.1 (1) a) (2) b) Criminal Code of Canada) and causing damage to a vehicle (Section 430 (1) a) (4) b) Criminal Code). The client pleaded guilty in Court.
The Crown Prosecutor asked the Judge to fine the client. As for Mr. Cormier, he asked the Judge to grant the client an absolution, because the latter needs to travel to the United States for personal and occupational reasons. The Judge granted the client an absolute discharge once the latter made a donation to a charity organization.
Mr. Cormier’s clients do not all receive discharges. See notice.
