NATURE OF THE CASE
Criminal law - Defence - Evidence - First degree murder - Provocation - Self-defence - Consciousness of guilt - Application of s. 686(1)(b)(iii) of the Criminal Code - Whether the Court of Appeal for British Columbia erred in law in applying the curative provisions of s. 686(1)(b)(iii) of the Criminal Code to the Applicant's appeal against conviction when the Court had determined that the trial judge had erred in instructing the jury on consciousness of guilt - Whether the Court of Appeal erred in law in ruling that consciousness of guilt was an insignificant part of the Applicant's trial and thus the error charging the jury on consciousness of guilt could be remedied by the application of the curative provisions of s. 686(1)(b)(iii) of the Criminal Code - Whether the Court of Appeal erred in law in ruling that the trial judge had not erred in his instructions to the jury on the defence of provocation as it impacted on the issue of intention to commit murder - Whether the Court of Appeal erred in law in concluding that there was no necessity to instruct the jury on the cumulative effect of provocation and self-defence as there was no accumulation of separate influences which could be said to have operated on the mind of the Applicant as the defences had their genesis in a single source.
