The Supreme Court of Canada will hear the case of a man in Nunavut who was ordered to stand trial again after he was acquitted of second-degree murder.
Last month, the Crown appealed his acquittal, arguing Charlesworth erred by not treating the chokehold seriously enough. In a written decision dated Oct. 21, the Nunavut Court of Appeal found that the Crown had grounds for its appeal.
The chokehold Daniel Hodgson applied to Bradley Winsor in May of 2017 can cause a person to lose consciousness in 10 seconds, and die within 30, Dr. Christopher Milroy told the court Friday.
