Is there any case law where a fugitive has been convicted of a criminal offence in Canada but not a criminal attempt?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from United States of America v Sandhu, 2021 BCSC 116 (CanLII):
The situation here is arguably analogous to that in United States of America v. Dynar, 1997 CanLII 359 (SCC), [1997] 2 S.C.R. 462 [Dynar] where a fugitive attempting to launder money he believed to be, but in fact was not, the proceeds of crime could not have been convicted of an offence in Canada at the relevant time, but could have been convicted of a criminal attempt.
