Chapdelaine v. The King - [1935] SCR 53 - 1934-11-26
Supreme Court JudgmentsCriminal law
Allen v. The King[13]. Where the jury has been misdirected on a material matter, the onus is upon the Crown to shew that the jury, charged as they should have been, could not, as reasonable men, have given on the evidence a verdict other than one of guilt. [...] Having reached that conclusion, even after the reading of the whole evidence, in view of the decisions of Allen v. The King[15], and Gouin v. The King[16], I cannot but conclude that the appeal must be allowed, the conviction quashed and a new trial directed.
