EP#179 | The Golden Rule

Sponsored by EasyDNS https://easydns.com/NotOnRecord In Episode 179 of Not On Record, Joseph Neuberger, Michael Bury, and Diana Davison examine a recent Ontario Court of Appeal case that highlights how dates and times are treated in sexual assault trials. They explain the “golden rule” — that the accused must know the case to meet — and why courts allow flexibility on timing, especially in sexual offence cases. The conversation unpacks the limits and risks of alibi defences, the myth of “getting off on a technicality,” and how credibility, reliability, and fairness are balanced in Canadian courts.
