Ontario:The Crown says it will not be appealing Jian Ghomeshi’s acquittals in the former CBC Radio’s host sexual assault case.
A statement released by a spokesperson for the Ministry of the Attorney General of Ontario says the Crown has concluded that there is “no legal basis” to appeal the decision.
“The Crown’s right of appeal from an acquittal is limited to errors of law, and does not include errors relating to factual matters,” the statement said.
“This was clearly a difficult case for everyone involved. I have full confidence in the job that our Crown prosecutors do in court every day, as well as all our justice sector partners.”
