Case Studies

Common Gaming House

Case Description: Operating a place where illegal gambling takes place

Solution: Mr. Venturi represented a 71-year-old woman charged with operating a gaming house in Greater Sudbury. The Crown sought a suspended sentence and $1,000 fine, but Mr. Venturi successfully argued for an absolute discharge, suggesting a $500 donation to a food bank instead. The judge agreed, ruling that a fine was unjust given the circumstances. Ms. Hyatt received an absolute discharge, showcasing Mr. Venturi’s effective defense.

Domestic Violence Charges

Case Description: Serious charges that usually involve a jail sentence.

Solution: Mr. Venturi achieved a favorable outcome for his client, who pled guilty to two counts of assault. Despite the serious charges, Mr. Venturi secured a 90-day conditional sentence served in the community, 18 months of probation, and mandatory participation in the Partner Assault Response program. He emphasized his client's schizophrenia diagnosis and commitment to treatment, reducing the charges and avoiding jail time.
