R. v. Pan; R. v. Sawyer - 2001 SCC 42 - [2001] 2 SCR 344 - 2001-06-29
Supreme Court JudgmentsConstitutional law
Criminal law
William F. Ehrcke, Q.C., and Mary Ainslie, for the intervener the Attorney General of British Columbia. [...] 95 As discussed by this Court in Sherratt, supra, and Williams, supra, a trial judge should permit challenges for cause under s. 638(1)(b) where there is a “realistic potential” of the existence of partiality on the part of jurors. [...] This being said, I acknowledge and agree with the concern raised in Williams, supra, at para. 11, that there is a risk that the views of a biased juror may infect the jury’s deliberations and create a risk that the verdict is not solely based on the evidence and law.
