Dominic Gravel (early 2005)
He had spent almost a year in pre-trial custody for one of the
biggest grow-op busts in Quebec. After half a dozen hearings
where the courts kept insisting his S.601 "unknown to law" motion
needed constitutional notice until a judge finally admitted he
didn't, then the Crown offered him a plea bargain that let him
out in just a few weeks or months. Pretty impressive to have such
an arch-criminal released for so little more time.

So, 16 people had their charges withdrawn and 3 had a plea
bargain so the Crown could avoid arguing the POLCOA.

And of course, since the Sfetkopoulos decision and the Crown Sean
Gaudet's Goodie, POLCOA is even stronger.
