Judge Knazan

Dismissed:  22 February 2000
(3 paras.)

Charge:  

attempted theft under $5000, Criminal Code, s. 334

Counsel: C. Eitel, Assistant Crown Attorney, Toronto

 1     KNAZAN J. (orally):  I agree with the non-suit motion.  The making of it has raised the issue of amendment clearly.  No application was sought to amend the information to conform with the evidence, and there is no evidence whatsoever that he attempted to steal the gym bag as opposed to the contents, and the motion to dismiss is allowed.

 2     MR. PENNEY:  Thank you, Your Honour.

 3     MS EITEL:  Thank you, Your Honour.
