What are the grounds of appeal against the jury charge?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. D.S., 2017 ONCA 131 (CanLII):
The appellant raises five grounds of appeal related to the jury charge, which can be dealt with summarily. He alleges deficiencies in the charge related to (i) collusion, (ii) similar fact evidence, (iii) evidence on withdrawn counts, (iv) the length, confusing, and unbalanced nature of the charge, and (v) the instruction regarding the rule in Browne v. Dunn. In my view, none of these grounds have any merit.
