Stensrud, [1989] 2 S.C.R. 1115, and the special circumstances of these cases, and in particular their complexity and length, we agree with the conclusion of the majority of the Court of Appeal that there was no unreasonable delay.  The appeals are dismissed.

LE JUGE SOPINKA -- Les présents pourvois sont formés de plein droit. En vertu des principes énoncés dans les arrêts R. c. Askov, [1990] 2 R.C.S. 1199, et R. c. Morin, [1992] 1 R.C.S. 771, et compte tenu du point de vue exprimé dans l'arrêt R. c.

                                                                                                                                               22490 and 22636                CHRISTINE NAGLIK v. HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN

 

Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms  - Criminal law - Procedural law - Trial procedure -Evidence - Offences - Whether Court of Appeal erred in upholding trial judge's allowing counsel for the Appellant's co-accused to comment, in his jury address, on the Appellant's failure to testify in her own behalf - Whether this amounted to a breach of the Appellant's rights under s. 11(c) not to be compelled to be a witness in proceedings against her -  Whether the Court of Appeal erred in law in holding that the trial judge erred in defining s. 197 [now s. 215] for the jury - Constitutional validity of s. 215.

 

                In 1987, the Appellant and her common law husband, Geoffrey Pople, were charged with aggravated assault of, and failure to provide necessaries of life to, their infant son, Peter.  The evidence established that Peter Pople, then aged eleven weeks, was brought to hospital and was there found to have sustained a number of serious injuries which had caused permanent damage.  The injuries would have been sustained over a period of time, estimated by physicians to be four weeks. 

 

At the joint trial before a judge and jury, the Appellant did not testify.  Her co-accused did testify, denying any involvement in the injuries to the child.  The Appellant and her co-accused were convicted of both charges.  The Appellant's appeal against the conviction for failure to provide necessaries of life was allowed, the conviction being set aside and a new trial was ordered.  Her appeal against conviction for aggravated assault was dismissed.  Morden A.C.J.O., dissenting in part, would have allowed the appeal against the second conviction as well and would have ordered a new trial. 

 

Three issues arose on appeal.  The first concerned comments made by the Applicant's co-accused on the Appellant's failure to testify.  Pople's lawyer sought, and obtained, permission to comment on the failure of the Appellant to testify.  The trial judge allowed the questioning, warning counsel that it had "better be within the bounds of propriety".  Responding to the comment, the Appellant's counsel highlighted the presumption of innocence, s. 11  of the Charter  and pointed out that the Appellant had made statements to various persons in authority, unlike Pople.

 

                The second and third issues related to the charge to the jury.  The trial judge remarked that, under s. 215, the appropriate test to be applied was an objective one, and that the jury could convict if they were of the view that the parent "knew or ought to have known, the seriousness of the child's condition and that it required medical attention, it would be a breach of the statute to fail to provide this medical attention".  During its deliberations, the jury asked whether they had to agree on a verdict.  The trial judge responded:

 

"... the 12 of you have to agree on a verdict of guilty or not guilty with respect to count one and with respect to each accused.  In other words, you must be unanimous one way or the other with respect to each accused and with respect to each count.  ... In other words, you have to look at count one and you have to consider the evidence with respect to each accused and bring in your verdict one way or the other.  The 12 of you have to come to a decision one way or another. "

Charte canadienne des droits et libertés  Droit criminel Droit procédural Procédure au procès Preuve Infractions La Cour d'appel a-t-elle commis une erreur en confirmant la décision du juge du procès de permettre à l'avocat de l'appelante de faire des commentaires, dans son exposé au jury, sur la décision de l'appelante de ne pas témoigner pour son propre compte? Cela équivalait-il à une violation du droit reconnu à l'appelante à l'al. 11c) de ne pas être contrainte de témoigner dans des procédures intentées contre elle? La Cour d'appel a-t-elle commis une erreur de droit en concluant que le juge du procès a commis une erreur dans sa définition de l'art. 197 [maintenant l'art. 215] à l'intention du jury?

 

                En 1987, l'appelante et son conjoint de fait, Geoffrey Pople, ont été accusés de voies de fait graves et d'omission de fournir les choses nécessaires à l'existence à l'égard de la personne de leur jeune enfant, Peter.  La preuve a établi que Peter Pople, alors âgé de 11 semaines, a été admis à l'hôpital où on a découvert qu'il souffrait de plusieurs blessures graves qui avaient causé des dommages permanents.  Suivant l'estimation des médecins, les blessures auraient été infligées au cours d'une période de quatre semaines.

 

Au procès conjoint devant juge et jury, l'appelante n'a pas témoigné.  Son coaccusé a témoigné, niant toute implication dans les blessures de l'enfant.  L'appelante et son coaccusé ont été reconnus coupables relativement aux deux accusations.  L'appel de l'appelante contre sa déclaration de culpabilité d'avoir omis de fournir les choses nécessaires à l'existence a été accueilli, la déclaration de culpabilité a été infirmée et un nouveau procès a été ordonné.  Son appel contre la déclaration de culpabilité de voies de fait graves a été rejeté.  Le juge en chef adjoint Morden, dissident en partie, aurait aussi accueilli l'appel contre la seconde déclaration de culpabilité et aurait ordonné un nouveau procès.

 

Trois questions ont été soulevées en appel.  La première portait sur les commentaires faits par le coaccusé de l'appelante sur l'omission de celle-ci de témoigner.  L'avocat de Pople a demandé et obtenu la permission de faire des commentaires sur l'omission de l'appelante de témoigner.  Le juge du procès a autorisé l'interrogatoire, avertissant l'avocat qu'il faisait «mieux de s'en tenir aux limites du convenable».  En réplique au commentaire, l'avocat de l'appelante a souligné la présomption d'innocence reconnue à l'art. 11  de la Charte  et signalé que l'appelante avait, contrairement à Pople, fait des déclarations à différentes personnes en situation d'autorité.

 

Les deuxième et troisième questions portaient sur l'exposé au jury.  Le juge du procès a remarqué que, en vertu de l'art. 215, le critère à appliquer était un critère objectif et que le jury pouvait rendre un verdict de culpabilité s'il était d'avis que le parent [TRADUCTION] «connaissait ou aurait dû connaître la gravité de l'état de l'enfant et savoir qu'il nécessitait des soins médicaux et que ce serait violer la loi que de ne pas fournir ces soins médicaux».  Pendant ses délibérations, le jury a demandé s'il devait être d'accord sur un verdict.  Le juge du procès a répondu:

 

[TRADUCTION]  «... vous devez tous les 12 être d'accord sur un verdict de culpabilité ou de non-culpabilité relativement au premier chef et relativement à chacun des accusés.  Autrement dit, vous devez être unanimes dans un sens ou dans l'autre relativement à chaque accusé et             relativement à chaque chef. [...]  Autrement dit, vous devez examiner le premier chef et vous devez examiner le preuve relativement à chaque accusé et rendre votre verdict dans un sens ou dans l'autre.  Vous devez tous les 12 arriver à une décision dans un sens ou dans l'autre.»
