Judgment rendered February 17, 2000 / Jugement rendu le 17 février 2000

 

Present:  L’Heureux‐Dubé, Gonthier, Cory,* McLachlin, Iacobucci, Bastarache and Binnie JJ.

 

Criminal law – Sentencing – Conditional sentences – Aboriginal offenders – Accused convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to 20 months’ incarceration –  Whether non-custodial sentence reasonable in circumstances where paramount sentencing objectives are denunciation and deterrence – Whether sentencing judge failed to take into account appropriate considerations in light of accused’s aboriginal status – Criminal Code, R.S.C., 1985, c. C-46, ss. 718.2 (e), 742.1 .

 

The accused was convicted of sexual assault.  He had attended a house party at the home of the victim, an 18‐year‐old aboriginal woman living with friends.  Evidence at trial established that the victim was assaulted in her own bedroom while she was either asleep or unconscious from the effects of alcohol.  There was medical evidence of vaginal abrasions but no evidence of penetration.  At the sentencing hearing, the judge characterized the accused’s actions as a “major” or “near major” sexual assault.  In his view, deterrence and denunciation were the paramount sentencing factors to be considered for this type of offence.  The sentencing judge took into account that there was no evidence of planning or deliberation, or gratuitous violence.  He also observed that the accused had two prior convictions for assault.  Finally, he noted that there was no evidence of remorse.  The pre-sentence report was generally favourable to the accused and recommended a conditional sentence.  Given that the accused was an aboriginal, the sentencing judge observed that he was “obliged to bear in mind” s. 718.2 (e) of the Criminal Code .  Taking all these factors into account, the sentencing judge held that “the necessary elements of deterrence and denunciation would be lacking” if the accused were permitted to serve a conditional sentence in the community.  He sentenced the accused to 20 months’ incarceration.  The Court of Appeal upheld the sentence.

 

Held:  The appeal should be dismissed.

 


A purposive interpretation of s. 742.1of the Criminal Code  requires the sentencing judge to proceed in stages in determining the appropriateness of a conditional sentence.  At the preliminary stage, the judge simply has to exclude two possibilities:  (a) probationary measures; and (b) a penitentiary term.  Pursuant to s. 742.1(b), the second and most substantial stage of the analysis involves the determination of whether a conditional sentence would be consistent with the fundamental purpose and principles set out in ss. 718 to 718.2.  If the judge’s preliminary assessment of a fit sentence excludes both a suspended sentence and a penitentiary sentence, and the statutory prerequisites in s. 742.1 are fulfilled, then he or she is required to consider s. 718.2(e) when deciding the appropriateness of a conditional sentence.  Under that provision, all available sanctions other than imprisonment that are reasonable in the circumstances should be considered, with particular attention to the circumstances of aboriginal offenders.  Moreover, whenever a judge narrows the choice to a sentence involving a sentence of incarceration, the judge is obliged to consider the unique systemic or background circumstances which may have played a part in bringing the particular aboriginal offender before the courts.  As well, the judge must consider the types of practicable procedures and sanctions which would be appropriate in the circumstances for the offender because of his or her particular aboriginal heritage.  The application of s. 718.2(e) does not mean that a sentence will automatically be reduced, since the determination of a fit sentence requires a consideration of all the principles and objectives set out in Part XXIII.  Depending on the severity of the conditions imposed, a conditional sentence may be reasonable in circumstances where deterrence and denunciation are paramount considerations.  Ultimately, however, the determination of the availability of a conditional sentence depends upon the sentencing judge’s assessment of the specific circumstances of the case, including a consideration of the aggravating factors, the nature of the offence, the community context, and the availability of conditions which have the capacity to properly reflect society’s condemnation.

 

While the objective of restorative justice, by virtue of s. 718.2(e), applies to all offenders, the requirement to pay “particular attention to the circumstances of aboriginal offenders” recognizes that most traditional aboriginal conceptions of sentencing hold restorative justice to be the primary objective.  In addition, s. 718.2(e) has a particular remedial purpose for aboriginal peoples, as it was intended to address the serious problem of overincarceration of aboriginal offenders in Canadian penal institutions.  While s. 718.2(e) requires a different methodology for assessing a fit sentence for an aboriginal offender, it does not necessarily mandate a different result.  Section 718.2(e) does not alter the fundamental duty of the sentencing judge to impose a sentence that is fit for the offence and the offender.  Furthermore, the application of s. 718.2(e) does not mean that aboriginal offenders must always be sentenced in a manner which gives greatest weight to the principles of restorative justice and less weight to goals such as deterrence, denunciation, and separation.  It was accordingly open to the sentencing judge to give primacy to the principles of denunciation and deterrence in this case on the basis that the crime involved was a serious one.

 

The sentencing judge made a reasonable determination as to the availability of a conditional sentence in this case.  He did not misconstrue the seriousness of the crime, and his use of the words “near major” or “major” instead of “serious” does not constitute a reversible error.  Since there was no error in principle, no overemphasis of the appropriate factors, and no failure to consider a relevant factor, deference should be shown to the trial judge’s assessment of the particular circumstances of the offence and the offender.

Droit criminel – Détermination de la peine – Emprisonnement avec sursis – Délinquants autochtones – Accusé déclaré coupable d’agression sexuelle et condamné à 20 mois d’incarcération – Une sanction autre que l’incarcération est‐elle justifiée dans les cas où la dénonciation et la dissuasion sont les objectifs primordiaux aux fins de détermination de la peine?  – Le juge qui a déterminé la peine a‐t‐il omis de prendre en considération les facteurs appropriés eu égard au fait que l’accusé est un Autochtone?  – Code criminel, L.R.C. (1985), ch. C‐46, art. 718.2e) , 742.1 .

 


L’accusé a été déclaré coupable d’agression sexuelle.  Il participait à une fête au domicile de la victime, une jeune femme autochtone de 18 ans qui vivait avec des amis.  Au procès, la preuve a établi que la victime a été agressée dans sa propre chambre à coucher, pendant qu’elle était soit endormie soit inconsciente sous l’effet de l’alcool.  La preuve médicale a révélé la présence d’éraflures au vagin, mais non qu’il y avait eu pénétration.  À l’audience de détermination de la peine, le juge a qualifié les actes de l’accusé d’agression sexuelle «majeure» ou «presque majeure».  À son avis, la dissuasion et la dénonciation étaient les principaux facteurs de détermination de la peine à prendre en compte pour ce genre d’infraction.  Le juge qui a déterminé la peine a tenu compte du fait qu’il n’y avait aucune preuve que l’acte avait été commis avec préméditation ou de propos délibéré, ou accompagné de violence gratuite.  Il a également fait remarquer que l’accusé avait déjà été déclaré coupable de voies de fait à deux reprises dans le passé.  Enfin, il a souligné qu’il n’y avait aucune preuve que l’accusé éprouvait des remords.  De façon générale, le rapport présentenciel était favorable à l’accusé et recommandait l’emprisonnement avec sursis.  Le juge qui a déterminé la peine a souligné que, comme l’accusé était un Autochtone, il était «obligé d’avoir à l’esprit» l’al. 718.2 e )  du Code criminel .  Tenant compte de tous ces facteurs, le juge qui a déterminé la peine a estimé que «les éléments nécessaires de dissuasion et de dénonciation seraient absents» si on permettait à l’accusé de purger une peine d’emprisonnement avec sursis dans la collectivité.  Il a condamné l’accusé à 20 mois d’incarcération.  La Cour d’appel a confirmé la peine.

 

Arrêt:  Le pourvoi est rejeté.

 

L’interprétation fondée sur l’objet de l’art. 742.1  du Code criminel  exige du juge chargé de déterminer la peine qu’il procède par étapes lorsqu’il décide de l’opportunité de l’emprisonnement avec sursis.  À l’étape préliminaire, le juge n’a qu’à déterminer s’il y a lieu d’écarter deux possibilités:  a) les mesures probatoires; b) l’incarcération dans un pénitencier.  Suivant l’art. 742.1, dans le cadre de la deuxième étape de l’analyse, qui est également la plus importante, le tribunal doit déterminer si l’octroi du sursis à l’emprisonnement est conforme à l’objectif fondamental et aux principes de la détermination de la peine énoncés aux art. 718 à 718.2.  Si, après avoir préliminairement déterminé que ni le sursis au prononcé de la peine ni l’incarcération dans un pénitencier ne constituent la sanction appropriée, et si les exigences prévues par l’art. 742.1 sont respectées, le juge a alors l’obligation de prendre en compte l’al. 718.2e) lorsqu’il décide si l’emprisonnement avec sursis est une sanction justifiée.  En vertu de cette disposition, toutes les sanctions substitutives qui sont justifiées dans les circonstances doivent être examinées, plus particulièrement en ce qui concerne les délinquants autochtones.  De plus, chaque fois que le juge arrête son choix sur une peine comportant l’incarcération, il a l’obligation d’examiner les circonstances systémiques ou historiques particulières qui sont susceptibles d’avoir contribué à la présence du délinquant autochtone concerné devant les tribunaux.  De même, le juge doit prendre en compte les diverses procédures et sanctions auxquelles il est concrètement possible d’avoir recours et qui seraient appropriées à l’égard du délinquant concerné en raison de son héritage autochtone.  L’application de l’al. 718.2e) n’entraîne pas automatiquement la réduction de la peine, puisque la détermination de la peine appropriée exige l’examen de tous les principes et objectifs énoncés dans la partie XXIII.  Selon la sévérité des conditions assortissant l’ordonnance de sursis à l’emprisonnement, cette sanction peut être justifiée dans les cas où la dissuasion et la dénonciation sont des considérations primordiales.  En bout de ligne, toutefois, la réponse à la question de savoir s’il s’agit d’un cas donnant ouverture à l’octroi du sursis à l’emprisonnement dépend de l’appréciation par le juge qui détermine la peine des circonstances particulières de l’affaire, notamment les facteurs aggravants, la nature de l’infraction, la situation de la collectivité et la possibilité de fixer des conditions permettant de refléter adéquatement la condamnation de la société.

 


Bien que l’objectif de justice corrective visé à l’al. 718.2e) s’applique à tous les délinquants, le fait que l’examen prévu par cette disposition soit requis «plus particulièrement en ce qui concerne délinquants autochtones» reconnaît que, dans la plupart des conceptions autochtones traditionnelles en matière de détermination de la peine, la justice corrective est considérée comme l’objectif primordial.  En outre, l’al. 718.2e) poursuit un objectif réparateur particulier en ce qui concerne les peuples autochtones, en ce qu’il vise à régler le grave problème de l’incarcération excessive des délinquants autochtones dans les établissements correctionnels canadiens.  Quoique l’al. 718.2e) demande l’application d’une méthodologie différente pour la détermination de la peine appropriée dans le cas des délinquants autochtones, il ne commande pas nécessairement un résultat différent.  L’alinéa 718.2e) ne modifie pas l’obligation fondamentale du juge, qui est d’infliger une peine appropriée pour l’infraction et le délinquant.  En outre, l’application de l’al. 718.2e) ne signifie pas que la peine infligée à un délinquant autochtone doit toujours être déterminée d’une manière qui accorde plus de poids aux principes de justice corrective qu’aux objectifs tels que la dissuasion, la dénonciation et l’isolement.  Par conséquent, il était loisible au juge qui était chargé de déterminer la peine de donner préséance aux principes de dénonciation et de dissuasion en raison de la gravité du crime reproché.

 

Le juge qui a déterminé la peine a rendu une décision raisonnable relativement à la question de savoir s’il s’agissait d’un cas donnant ouverture à l’emprisonnement avec sursis.  Il n’a pas mal apprécié la gravité du crime, et le fait qu’il ait utilisé les termes «presque majeure» et «majeure» plutôt que le terme «grave» ne constitue pas une erreur justifiant l’annulation de sa décision.  Puisqu’il n’y a eu ni erreur de principe, ni insistance trop grande sur les facteurs appropriés, ni omission de prendre en considération un facteur pertinent, il faut faire preuve de retenue envers l’appréciation qu’a faite le juge du procès des circonstances particulières se rapportant à l’infraction et au délinquant.

Criminal law ‐‐ Charge to jury ‐‐ Evidence of jailhouse informants ‐‐ Failure to provide Vetrovec warning -- Testimonies of two jailhouse informants introduced by Crown at trial -- Accused convicted of first degree murder -- Whether Court of Appeal erred in concluding that trial judge failed to adequately instruct jury about unreliability with respect to informants’ testimonies.

 

Criminal law ‐‐ Evidence ‐‐ Jailhouse informants -- Testimonies of two jailhouse informants introduced by Crown at trial -- Accused convicted of first degree murder -- Whether evidence supported implied finding at trial that informants were trustworthy.

 

Criminal law ‐‐ Verdicts ‐‐ Testimonies of two jailhouse informants introduced by Crown at trial -- Accused convicted of first degree murder -- Omission of a caution to jury about unreliability with respect to informants’ testimonies --Whether verdict would have been the same if caution had been given -- Criminal Code, R.S.C., 1985, c. C-46, s. 686(1) (b)(iii).

 

A nineteen‐month‐old child was found murdered in her crib wrapped in a green comforter.  Only the accused and the child’s mother had access to her on the night of the murder.  The child had blood and vomit on her face, a swollen left eye, bruises on her head, and bruising and redness on her genital area.  The cause of death was acute brain injury.  Trace amounts of semen were found on vaginal and anal swabs but D.N.A. testing of sperm proved inconclusive, likely due to contamination of the sample.  The Crown’s expert could neither include nor exclude the accused as the possible source of the sperm.  There had been intense sexual activity in the apartment in the period preceding the murder.  Sperm, including sperm from the child’s natural father, was found throughout the apartment including on a toy in the crib, on the child’s pyjama top, on the crib sheets and in two places on the green comforter.  However, the child had been bathed just before the night of the murder and this, combined with the bacterial environment of a child in diapers, would quickly degrade sperm.  The accused’s grey track pants were found in the apartment stained with semen, blood of the same type as the child’s, and a juice substance similar to that in her bottle.  On the way to the hospital the following morning, the accused whispered to the mother three times that he was sorry.  The accused made other inculpatory statements.

 

There was no direct evidence establishing that the accused had struck the fatal blows.  There was evidence of previous physical abuse committed against the child.  One month prior to the murder, the accused had thrown the child approximately one metre into the wooden frame of a couch.  An injury to the child’s right buttock had appeared on a day on which the accused had exclusive care of the child.  The mother had also been seen striking the child on several occasions.

 

The Crown led evidence from two jailhouse informants who testified that the accused, while incarcerated, had admitted that he had killed the child to stop her crying.  Their testimony did not include a suggestion that the killing was committed during the commission of a sexual assault.  Both informants had lengthy criminal records of dishonesty.  One unsuccessfully sought a lighter sentence in return for his testimony and had testified as an informant in a prior trial.  The other had a history of substance abuse and a psychiatric history highlighted by suicide attempts, paranoia, deep depression and a belief in clairvoyant ability.  Both had histories of offering to testify in criminal trials.

 


In closing argument, defence counsel ridiculed both informants and invited the jury to reject their testimonies.  Crown counsel’s jury address noted their criminal records and that one had previously appeared as a Crown witness and had attempted to make a deal.  The trial judge’s jury charge did not provide a Vetrovec warning to the jury about the danger of relying on the informants’ testimonies.  Neither counsel requested a warning nor objected to the lack of a warning.  The accused was convicted of first degree murder.  The Court of Appeal set aside the conviction and ordered a new trial.

 

Held (Iacobucci, Major and Arbour JJ. dissenting):  The appeal should be allowed.

 

Per Gonthier, McLachlin and Bastarache JJ.:  There was no error of law on the part of the trial judge in failing to provide a Vetrovec warning.  It was within the discretion of the trial judge whether to give a warning and there was a foundation for his exercise of discretion.

 

Trial judges must not pigeon-hole witnesses into categories and should examine all factors that might impair the worth of a witness.  No Vetrovec warning is necessary if the trial judge believes the witness can be trusted even if the witness is a jail-house informant.  The facts raised preliminary doubts as to the credibility of the informants but not cogent reasons to overrule the trial judge’s implicit finding that they were sufficiently trustworthy not to mandate a caution.  An informant’s prior psychiatric history has no relevance and does not make the informant of unsavoury character.  The informants’ testimonies were supported by other evidence and no evidence was adduced that either had lied or acquired their information elsewhere.  The verdict did not turn on their testimonies because other evidence sustained the conviction.  Defence counsel neither requested a warning nor objected to the absence of a warning.  Counsel’s opinion is relevant where there may be tactical reasons for not requesting a warning.  The trial judge directed the jury on credibility.  The Court of Appeal had insufficient reason to interfere.   A Vetrovec warning was not required.

 

Per Binnie J.: The trial judge erred in law in failing to give a Vetrovec warning but the appeal should nevertheless be allowed because there is no reasonable possibility on the particular facts of this case that the verdict would have been different if the warning had been given.

 

The trigger for a Vetrovec warning is the extent to which underlying sources of potential unreliability are present.  The testimony of the informants here exhibited some of the worst characteristics of purveyors of jailhouse confessions.  It is not sufficient for the trial judge to conclude that in his view these particular informants were reasonably capable of belief.  The trial judge must provide the proper framework within which the jury can determine for itself the issue of credibility.  The testimony of these jailhouse informants was important to the Crown’s case and justified an inference of untrustworthiness.  This was sufficient to require a Vetrovec warning.  The trial judge erred in law in the exercise of his discretion in deciding otherwise.

 

The accused was not entitled to a trial that excluded the evidence of the informants, only to having the testimony accompanied by a warning.  Other direct evidence untainted by the error of law implicated the accused, including his other inculpatory statements, evidence of sexual assault and evidence of a prior pattern of violence.  The jury accepted circumstantial evidence of sexual assault by the accused contemporaneously with the murder that was in no way dependent upon the informants’ testimony.  A Vetrovec warning would have been accompanied by a review of corroborative evidence unhelpful to the accused.  In the circumstances, the verdict should be upheld under s. 686(1)(b)(iii) of the Criminal Code .

 

Per Iacobucci, Major and Arbour JJ. (dissenting):  The trial judge ought to have given a Vetrovec warning.  The charge was not adequate and it cannot be said that the verdict would necessarily have been the same.

 


A Vetrovec warning is a matter of a trial judge’s discretion and is not required in all cases of unsavoury witnesses.  Trial judges should consider all factors but should focus on a witness’s credibility and the importance of his or her testimony to the Crown’s case.  A failure to give a required caution is an error of law and the prejudice occasioned by the error can be assessed under s. 686(l)(b)(iii) of the Criminal Code .   The credibility of the informants was inherently suspect and their testimonies of sufficient importance to require a Vetrovec warning.  The jury charge, however, did not contain the essential values of a Vetrovec warning.  It did not focus the jury’s attention specifically on the inherent unreliability of these informants.  Defence counsel’s summation to the jury was not a substitute.  The absence of a request from defence counsel for a caution is not determinative.  There is a serious question of whether a sexual assault occurred.  The conviction for first degree murder cannot be sustained if there was no sexual assault.  Other evidence had the potential to raise a reasonable doubt.  It is difficult to preclude a different result.

Une enfant de dix-neuf mois a été trouvée assassinée dans sa couchette; elle était enveloppée dans une douillette verte.  Seuls l’accusé et la mère de l’enfant avaient accès auprès d’elle la nuit du meurtre.  L’enfant avait du sang et de la vomissure au visage, l’oeil gauche gonflé, des contusions à la tête ainsi que des contusions et des rougeurs aux organes génitaux.  Le décès était dû à un traumatisme crânien aigu.  Des quantités infimes de sperme ont été décelées dans des échantillons prélevés par écouvillonnage vaginal et anal, mais le test d’empreintes génétiques du sperme s’est révélé non concluant, vraisemblablement en raison de la contamination de l’échantillon prélevé.  L’expert du ministère public ne pouvait pas dire si le sperme prélevé pouvait provenir ou non de l’accusé.  L’appartement avait été le théâtre d’une activité sexuelle intense pendant la période ayant précédé le meurtre.  Du sperme, y compris celui du père biologique de l’enfant, a été découvert un peu partout dans l’appartement, y compris sur un jouet qui se trouvait dans le lit de l’enfant, sur le collet de son haut de pyjama, sur les draps de son lit et à deux endroits sur la douillette verte.  Toutefois, l’enfant avait été baignée juste avant la nuit du meurtre, et ce bain et les bactéries auxquelles est exposé un enfant qui porte la couche contribueraient à détériorer le sperme rapidement.  Il y avait sur le pantalon de survêtement gris de l’accusé, trouvé dans l’appartement, du sperme et des taches de sang du même groupe sanguin que l’enfant, ainsi que du jus semblable à celui trouvé dans son biberon.  Sur la route de l’hôpital le lendemain matin, l’accusé a chuchoté trois fois à l’oreille de la mère qu’il était désolé. L’accusé a fait d’autres déclarations incriminantes.

 


Il n’y avait aucune preuve directe que l’accusé avait asséné les coups fatals. Il était établi que l’enfant avait déjà subi des mauvais traitements physiques.  Un mois avant le meurtre, l’accusé l’avait projetée sur une distance d’environ un mètre contre l’armature en bois d’un divan.  Une blessure sur la fesse droite de l’enfant était apparue un jour où l’accusé s’occupait seul d’elle.  On avait également vu la mère la frapper à plusieurs reprises.

 

Le ministère public a fait témoigner deux informateurs dans un établissement de détention qui ont affirmé que, pendant son incarcération, l’accusé avait avoué avoir tué l’enfant pour qu’elle cesse de pleurer.  Rien dans leur témoignage n’indiquait que le meurtre était survenu pendant la perpétration d’une agression sexuelle.  Les deux avaient de lourds antécédents judiciaires de malhonnêteté.  L’un avait vainement tenté d’obtenir une peine moins lourde en échange de son témoignage et avait déposé à titre d’informateur dans un procès antérieur.  L’autre était déjà connu pour avoir abusé de substances psychoactives et avait des antécédents psychiatriques marqués par des tentatives de suicide, une paranoïa, une dépression profonde et la conviction qu’il avait un don de clairvoyance.  Les deux avaient déjà offert de témoigner dans des procès criminels.

 

Dans sa plaidoirie finale, l’avocat de la défense a ridiculisé les deux informateurs et a invité le jury à rejeter leur témoignage.  Lorsqu’il s’est adressé au jury, l’avocat du ministère public a souligné qu’ils avaient un casier judiciaire et que l’un d’eux avait déjà été témoin à charge et avait tenté de conclure un marché.  Dans son exposé au jury, le juge du procès n’a pas fait de mise en garde de type Vetrovec au sujet du danger de s’en remettre au témoignage des informateurs.  Aucun des avocats n’a sollicité une mise en garde et aucun ne s’est opposé à l’absence de mise en garde.  L’accusé a été déclaré coupable de meurtre au premier degré.  La Cour d’appel a annulé cette déclaration de culpabilité et ordonné un nouveau procès.

 

Arrêt (les juges Iacobucci, Major et Arbour sont dissidents):  Le pourvoi est accueilli.

 

Les juges Gonthier, McLachlin et Bastarache:  Le juge du procès n’a commis aucune erreur de droit en omettant de faire une mise en garde de type Vetrovec.  Il avait le pouvoir discrétionnaire de faire ou de ne pas faire une mise en garde et il existait un motif justifiant la façon dont il a exercé ce pouvoir.

 

Le juge du procès doit, d’une part, s’abstenir de classer les témoins dans des catégories et, d’autre part, examiner tous les facteurs susceptibles de porter atteinte à la crédibilité d’un témoin.  Aucune mise en garde de type Vetrovec n’est nécessaire si le juge du procès estime que le témoin est digne de foi, même si ce témoin est un informateur dans un établissement de détention.  Les faits rendaient douteuse au départ la crédibilité des informateurs, mais il n’y avait aucune raison convaincante de rejeter la conclusion implicite du juge du procès qu’ils étaient suffisamment dignes de foi pour qu’il ne soit pas nécessaire de faire une mise en garde.  Les antécédents psychiatriques d’un informateur ne sont pas pertinents et n’en font pas pour autant une personne «à l’honnêteté douteuse».  Le témoignage des informateurs était étayé par d’autres éléments de preuve et, en fait, on n’a produit aucune preuve qu’ils avaient soit menti, soit obtenu leurs renseignements ailleurs.  Le verdict ne dépendait pas de leur témoignage étant donné que d’autres éléments de preuve étayaient la déclaration de culpabilité qui a été prononcée.  L’avocat de la défense n’a sollicité aucune mise en garde et ne s’est pas opposé à l’absence d’une mise en garde.  L’avis des avocats est pertinent lorsqu’il peut y avoir des raisons tactiques de ne pas solliciter une mise en garde.  Le juge du procès a donné au jury des directives en matière de crédibilité.  La Cour d’appel n’avait pas suffisamment de motifs d’intervenir.  Une mise en garde de type Vetrovec ne s’imposait pas.

 

Le juge Binnie:  Le juge du procès a commis une erreur de droit en omettant de faire une mise en garde de type Vetrovec, mais il y a lieu néanmoins d’accueillir le pourvoi parce que, d’après les faits de la présente affaire, il n’existe aucune possibilité raisonnable que le verdict eût été différent si la mise en garde avait été faite.

 


La nécessité d’une mise en garde de type Vetrovec découle de la mesure dans laquelle des motifs de non-fiabilité potentielle existent.  Le témoignage des informateurs en l’espèce présentait certaines des pires caractéristiques des gens qui rapportent les aveux d’un codétenu.  Il ne suffit pas que le juge du procès conclue qu’à son avis ces informateurs particuliers étaient raisonnablement dignes de foi.  Le juge du procès doit établir le cadre approprié à l’intérieur duquel le jury pourra lui-même décider de la question de la crédibilité.  Le témoignage de ces informateurs dans un établissement de détention était important pour la preuve du ministère public et justifiait une inférence de non-fiabilité.  Cela était suffisant pour requérir une mise en garde de type Vetrovec.  Le juge du procès a exercé son pouvoir discrétionnaire de façon erronée en droit en décidant de ne pas faire cette mise en garde.

 

L’accusé avait droit non pas à un procès dépourvu du témoignage des informateurs, mais seulement à ce que leur témoignage soit assorti d’une mise en garde. D’autres éléments de preuve directe non viciés par l’erreur de droit commise impliquaient l’accusé, dont ses autres déclarations incriminantes, la preuve d’une agression sexuelle et celle d’un comportement antérieur violent.  Le jury a retenu la preuve circonstancielle d’une agression sexuelle par l’accusé au moment du meurtre, qui n’avait absolument rien à voir avec le témoignage des informateurs.  Une mise en garde de type Vetrovec aurait été assortie de l’examen d’une preuve corroborante qui n’aurait pas aidé l’accusé.  Dans les circonstances, il y a lieu de confirmer le verdict en application du sous-al. 686(1)b)(iii) du Code criminel .

 

Les juges Iacobucci, Major et Arbour (dissidents):  Le juge du procès aurait dû faire une mise en garde de type Vetrovec.  L’exposé qu’il a fait n’était pas suffisant et on ne peut pas dire que le verdict aurait nécessairement été le même.

 

La mise en garde de type Vetrovec relève du pouvoir discrétionnaire du juge du procès et n’est pas requise dans tous les cas de témoins douteux.  Bien qu’il doive tenir compte de tous les facteurs, le juge du procès devrait se concentrer sur la crédibilité d’un témoin et sur l’importance de sa déposition pour la preuve du ministère public.  L’omission de faire une mise en garde qui s’impose est une erreur de droit et le préjudice causé par cette erreur peut être évalué en application du sous-al. 686(1)b)(iii) du Code criminel .  La crédibilité des informateurs en cause était intrinsèquement douteuse et leur  témoignage était suffisamment important pour requérir une mise en garde de type Vetrovec.  Cependant, l’exposé au jury n’incluait pas les éléments essentiels d’une mise en garde de type Vetrovec.  On n’y a pas attiré l’attention du jury expressément sur la non‐fiabilité inhérente des informateurs en question.  L’exposé de l’avocat de la défense au jury n’a pas remplacé une telle mise en garde.  Le fait que l’avocat de la défense n’a pas sollicité une mise en garde n’est pas déterminant.  Il y a de sérieux doutes quant à savoir si une agression sexuelle a été commise.  La déclaration de culpabilité de meurtre au premier degré ne saurait être maintenue en l’absence d’une agression sexuelle.  D’autres éléments de preuve étaient susceptibles de susciter un doute raisonnable.  Il est difficile d’écarter la possibilité d’un résultat différent.
