Conspiracy Lawyer Successes
“International Conspiracy to Committ Murder”
The accused was from Canada but had met a criminal in prison in the USA years earlier. That USA criminal wanted someone dead in Jamaica. The USA criminal had the accused connect him with a supposed hitman in Jamaica. The accused believed it was just for a beating because the target had stolen money from the USA criminal. The supposed hitman in Jamaica turned out to just be a fraudster that collected money as a scam from the USA criminal. The supposed hitman went to the police and claimed the accused was part of the murder-for-hire plot. The USA criminal was charged and pled guilty to the conspiracy to committ murder and became a witness for the prosecution. After the Crown witnesses were exposed as not being credible at the preliminary hearing and the filing of complex inter-jurisdictional Charter materials the matter resolved for a non-custodial disposition on a plea to “Conspiracy to Committ Assault Bodily Harm”.
“G20 Conspiracy”
The 2010 summer in Toronto was indelibly marked in history due to the chaos that ensued during the G20 Summit. Several young people were charged with conspiring to obstruct peace officers and commit various acts of mischief. Mr. Weisberg’s client was charged as one of these “ringleaders.” The preliminary hearing commenced, and Mr. Weisberg minimized the evidence against his client by cross-examining the main undercover officer. Several of the co-accused entered pleas of guilt and on that basis Mr. Weisberg’s client’s charges were withdrawn.
“Humane Society Case”
This case was plagued with severe difficulties for the prosecution before charges were ever even laid. Mr. Weisberg’s client was an executive. All of the accused persons were arrested for conspiracy counts involving cruelty to animals. As the case unfolded in the disclosure documents, it became clear that the complaints were for the most part based on rumour, gossip, speculation and hearsay. The charges were withdrawn.
