What is the test for establishing an alibi in a criminal case?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v .J.B.J., 2011 NSCA 16 (CanLII):
With respect, the trial judge appears to have misunderstood or, at the very least, failed to properly apply the law relating to alibi evidence. The appellant did not need to prove his alibi; the evidence of his alibi need only raise a reasonable doubt that he committed the crime: Lizotte v. The King, 1950 CanLII 48 (SCC), [1951] S.C.R. 115.
