What is the standard applied by a judge at a preliminary hearing in an extradition case?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from U.S.A. v. Gunn, 2003 MBQB 276 (CanLII):
That argument is premised on the principle that judges presiding in extradition hearings are not entitled to weigh the evidence. Issues of quality or reliability must be left to the trier of fact in the requesting state. The standard is similar to that applied by a judge at a preliminary hearing in a Canadian criminal case: United States of America v. Sheppard (1976), 1976 CanLII 8 (SCC), 30 C.C.C. (2d) 424 (S.C.C.).
