What are my chances of being convicted of impaired driving?
A- Like with any criminal charge the principles that apply are these: 1) You are presumed to be innocent 2) The burden of proof is on the Crown prosecutor 3) The standard of proof is beyond a reasonable doubt (the most stringent standard known to law) 4) You have a right to remain silent and are not required to testify or answer questions In many cases, the Crown is simply unable to prove its case to the required standard and people are found not guilty.
