In relation to charging selections, we don’t think about who the potential defendant is, how a lot energy and affect they’ve, or how beloved they might be. We cope with the information and the legislation solely.

“Whereas no case has an identical information, we are able to have a look at comparable information, if doable, to assist us in our determination making. We actually couldn’t recall any case that had information that mirrored this case. Each case is truth particular. As at all times, we apply the alleged information to the prevailing legislation. And the relevant legislation and its accompanying legislative historical past is much from clear.

“We had a crew of skilled attorneys have a look at this case – as we frequently do – particularly when the legislation is unclear or unsettled. All of us agreed that this determination is the precise and only one. And I’m personally sure that the precise determination has been made with these particular and distinctive set of information.

“The CPL holder right here was the driving force and had care, custody, and management of the automotive. Steerage is required for the long run on what number of weapons can a legitimate CPL say that they’ve management over?
