Case Scenario: R. v. L.T.H., 2008 SCC 48
Case Summary: On August 8th, 2004, L.T.H., a young person, was apprehended following a police chase that took place in the early hours of the morning. He was charged with dangerous driving causing bodily harm. The police informed him of his right to counsel, including the option to consult with parents or relatives, or to have a lawyer present during questioning. The officers also read him the waiver of rights form, which he signed. However, the statement L.T.H. gave was ruled inadmissible by the judge due to concerns over his understanding of his rights. This led to the young person's acquittal. The case was later reviewed by the court of appeal, but the acquittal was upheld and no further trial was scheduled.
