During the investigation and at the preliminary inquiry, he falsely claimed that he had never been a jailhouse informant in the past and he had never previously testified when, in fact, he had acted as a jailhouse informant on multiple occasions in the past.... King was 50 years old, grew up in an abusive home, had an extensive criminal record, had good family support, and was a suitable candidate for community supervision. King was sentenced to two years in prison. The key factor was the importance of complete transparency in the evidence of jailhouse informants." [1] Trouver des résumés de cas.

He was one of the four police officers who had detained Mr. Dziekanski at the airport. Millington applied a taser to Mr. Dziekanski five times, which led to Dziekanski’s death. The perjury was on material aspects of the encounter, and his evidence had been contradicted by video. The testimony frustrated the ability of the inquiry in its search for answers. His evidence continued over several days and unfairly cast the victim in a negative light. Millington had no prior record and many letters referencing his good character. The court referred to numerous prior cases setting out the sentencing range for perjury. The court rejected the option of a conditional sentence because it would not adequately meet the need for deterrence and denunciation." Trouver des résumés de cas.

Reyat was a key witness in the murder trial of two Air India bombers, Malik and Bagri. Reyat had falsely claimed he did not remember important details of the narrative. His evidence foreclosed a relevant line of questioning and related to central events in the matter. His conduct was characterized as a stain on the process of a mass murder trial and was a deliberate attempt to frustrate justice. Reyat had also been convicted of three counts of manslaughter related to the Air India bombing prior to the Malik and Bagri trial. He received the longest sentence in Canadian history for perjury, 9 years’ imprisonment." The offence was politically motivated. He was previously convicted of manslaughter linked to the bombing.

Had the accused’s evidence been accepted, it would have resulted in the police evidence being rejected. In mitigation the accused was an involved parent of two children. In aggravation, the perjury was planned and deliberate, and his sister assisted by corroborating his perjured evidence. The evidence accused the police of lying and had been repeated in multiple proceedings (in a first trial, and on the retrial following an appeal). The underlying offence was very serious."

The circumstances of the offence were that he, at the behest of a friend, who had just stabbed another man, was asked to dispose of the knife used in the stabbing. He did so.

The accused had lied to the police at his arrest for a break and enter by providing his brother’s name as opposed to his own name. He perpetuated the obstruction by continuing to use his brother’s name through and including sentencing when under his brother’s name he received a lighter sentence than he would have received had he used his own name due to his extensive criminal history. The Court of Appeal determined that a fit sentence taking into account the extent of the obstruction and the accused lengthy criminal record consisting of over 50 offences committed over a period of 20 years was 12 months as opposed to the 18 months he had received by the trial judge."

Giving Contradictory Evidence

Case Name	Prv.	Crt.	Sentence	Summary
R v Dorn, 2010 ONSC 2631(*pas de liens CanLII)	ON	SC	2 ans d'emprisonnement	"Dorn was an important witness in a murder trial of four accused. He gave contradictory evidence at the trial and preliminary hearing in the matter on several points in his narrative. The evidence had implications for the degree of responsibility of the various accused and was part of a sustained campaign to benefit his friends who were accused of the murder. He had one prior related conviction involving the same matter. The impact of the contradictory evidence on the result of the trial was difficult to ascertain, though it made the jury’s task more difficult, and it had impaired the truth-seeking function of the trial. The perjury also had a negative emotional impact on the family of the victim. Dorn had an extremely positive presentence report. He had separated himself from his prior associates. He had two young children and was the primary earner in the family. He plead guilty." The offender plead guilty. He had a positive pre-sentence report and no prior record.
