Drug Trafficking Claim Impact

Summary

In New Brunswick, if another person claims responsibility for drugs in a trafficking case, the court will evaluate the credibility of the claim. If there is no supporting evidence, the claim may be dismissed, and the original accused could still be held accountable based on existing evidence. The new claimant could face charges if the claim is credible.

What if there was no evidence to prove the claim
If there's no evidence to support the claim that someone else was responsible for the drugs, the court may:
- Dismiss the claim due to lack of evidence.
- Continue to hold the original accused accountable based on the existing evidence.
- Scrutinize all parties involved for any additional information.
