11. Regina v. M.N.N. [Provincial Court of Alberta, Calgary – June 2017]

MNN was the target of an undercover police street operation.  During the course of that undercover operation MNN repeatedly sold street level quantities of crack cocaine to multiple undercover officers. As a consequence MNN was ultimately arrested and charged with the following:

  1. Four separate counts of trafficking in cocaine contrary to section 5(1) of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
  2. Four separate counts of possessing proceeds of crime contrary to section 354 of the Criminal Code.

Patrick Fagan was able to use the legal precedent created in Regina v. ASS aforesaid to pursue an ENTRAPMENT defence.

Bottom Line: Patrick Fagan was successful in killing all charges against MNN by way of the entry of a stay of proceedings .
