understanding criminal charges in british columbia
The presumption of innocence is a cornerstone of Canadian law. This means the Crown must prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Criminal offences in BC fall into three categories:
-
Summary offences: Less serious crimes (e.g., minor theft, mischief).
-
Indictable offences: Serious crimes (e.g., murder, robbery).
-
Hybrid offences: Crimes that can be prosecuted as either summary or indictable, depending on the circumstances.
Being charged doesn’t mean you’re guilty. Your rights and defence matter.
