Spring Has Sprung

I am delighted to once again fight for my clients now that the good weather is upon us.

Starting Off the Year with a Bang

Always great to start the year in good spirits in Downtown Toronto.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

When my clients win their trials despite the odds, it reminds me of how much me wanting to help people led me to become a lawyer.

My client was happy to have been found innocent and she was elated that the horrendous allegations against her were finally put to rest with a not guilty verdict.

I wish everyone a good holiday and a great autumn.

Cool Summer

It has been a busy summer, but I can’t turn my back on the people. For those interested in my Criminal lawyer Association profile here is the link: https://criminallawyers.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/PIERRE-BONSU-PROFILE.pdf

Recent Cases:

September 12, 2024 R. v. CJ OCJ Toronto, Ontario – My client was accused of having defrauded a person of thousands of dollars. Fortunately, this accusation was withdrawn and my client is now able to endeavour upon his future goals.

August 9, 2024 R. v. Clarke OCJ London, Ontario – My client was charged with Assault with a Weapon x 2, Assault Choking, Assault and Uttering threats. At my client’s trial, all charges were dismissed and Mr. Clarke was ecstatic that these horrendous allegations had been dealt with. I was just happy to help out the street.

August 8, 2024 R v. CA OCJ Toronto, Ontario – My client was charged with Extortion, Sexual Assault, Assault Choking, Forcing a Noxious Substance and assault. Words cannot express how relieved my client was when the prosecution decided to stay these completely unfounded charges. I always maintained that he was setup.

I hope that you too had a good summer 😉

First trial of the year

Very grateful to be in a position to represent people in Ontario.

I look forward to representing more people in the coming year.

Bonsu reviews Bail Reviews

This week at Bonsulaw.com we review two recent bail reviews done in Ontario.

A bail review is a hearing with the ultimate goal of amending or reversing the original bail decision. The original decision may have been a detention or a release order.

First, a bail review that was done in early October 2022 featuring a client who had been in a Toronto jail for a few months due to the fact that he was denied bail. Much like in the film Shawshank Redemption, he thought of many possible ways to get out of jail. Ultimately, he decided that the most efficient way was to call Pierre Bonsu, Advocate For The Streets. A bail review ensued, and he was eventually released at the bail review. This bail review featured many plot twists but was well worth the price of admission.

We here at Bonsulaw.com give this bail review two thumbs up!

Our second bail review of October 2022 occurred later in the month close to the time frame of those scary movies that we’ve gotten used to. However, this bail review had more in common with Leonardo Di Caprio’s Romeo and Juliet romantic film as my client was not allowed to be in contact with his partner much like how the Montagues and Capulets were not allowed to comingle in the aforementioned Shakespeare title. After an entertaining bail review my client’s Romeo was once again allowed to be with his Juliet. It’s not often that Bonsu gets emotional, but I was really happy for this result.

Overall, we here at Bonsulaw.com also give this bail review two thumbs up!

Spring is Here

My client asked me to post this picture of him and myself after he was acquitted via a jury trial in Superior Court. He wants to bring awareness to the plight of the many who are wrongfully arrested. He wanted to show his face, but I advised against it due to the bias that is often perpetrated against the innocent like himself. The bicycle is one that I attempted to lend him in a bid to avoid him walking to the courthouse for his trial. He said that he would only borrow it once he was found not guilty.

He is now getting his life back together again.

I look forward to helping society’s downtrodden and neglected again this spring and summer. I hope to loan out more bicycles free of charge for those caught up in these troubling times with rising transportation costs. I do so because I am always looking to give back to the street!

Fkadu v Toronto Police Services Board et al.

I am representing my client Kibrom Fkadu in his lawsuit against former Detective Sergeant Stacy Gallant, Inspector Mike Patterson and the Toronto Police Services Board.

On his way to the Raptors Championship parade in 2019, my client, a black teenager named Kibrom Fkadu, was arrested. He was arrested with a bloody knife in his right hand while wearing one Air Jordan shoe and a sweater with one ripped sleeve. He spent the night in jail missing the parade.

Veteran former Detective Sergeant Stacy Gallant and Inspector Michael Patterson claimed to have seen Mr. Fkadu stab a white man several times. Patterson called 911 and reported the stabbing. This supposed white victim ran away from the scene.

An eyewitness by the name of Jabel Moses saw the alleged ‘victim’ and stated that this person did not appear to have any injuries. Mr. Moses was a Canpar delivery driver who witnessed the supposed victim ditching a knife under his delivery truck. The knife was identical in size and shape to the knife that Kibrom had.

Kibrom professed his innocence, but he was nonetheless charged with three offences related to the stabbing and faced up to 14 years in prison.

A trial was set for March 1 of 2021.

Shortly before the trial, I had Kibrom’s blood compared to the blood found on the bloody knife and he received the results on December 7, 2020.

Thanks to the assistance of Detective Richard Petrie of the Toronto Police Service, Michael Lockner of the Ministry of the Attorney General and Monica Sloan of the Ministry of the Solicitor General, my client’s charges were withdrawn on December 8 before trial in large part due to the fact that the DNA result indicated that all of the blood on the knife belonged to my client. In fact, the blood on the knife was 3 trillion times more likely to be Mr. Fkadu’s than anyone else’s on the planet.

In reality, the detectives only saw Mr. Fkadu confronting the white man and asking for his shoe back. They saw the bloody knife and Detective Gallant tackled my client to the ground without warning. My client professed his innocence, but all that they saw was a Black youth with a bloody knife and considered him guilty. Using their supreme veteran detective skills, they figured that he had cut someone. In fairness, they were 100% right.

Kibrom did cut someone. He cut himself.

He cut himself when he wrested the knife away from individuals that were attempting to rob him of his shoes. He was confronting one of these individuals until the moment when Detective Gallant wrestled him to the ground playing hero and Mr. Fkadu’s assailant ran away. There are more pertinent details, but the most important is that Kibrom wants to get his life back together again.

To update, I have been asking the Toronto Police Service to reconsider their
decision to deny Kibrom’s fingerprint and file destruction request. This previous
decision had limited Kibrom’s opportunities despite the fact that he has never
been in trouble with the law. They have directed me to submit an appeal and now
Kibrom has a worker assigned to his file.

Mrs. Enza Silano of Northbound leather was named as someone that spoke to
the police during the investigation on Kibrom’s charges before his charges were
withdrawn. Mrs. Silano had indicated to us that she would assist us if needed.

We are grateful for her assistance and if anyone would like to know more
about the great work that Mrs. Enza Silano and Northbound leather do, please
check out this widely available Financial Post article from 2012.

https://financialpost.com/entrepreneur/fifty-shades-of-grey-sets-fetish-industry-sales-on-fire

It highlights the stores popularity due to the impact of the popularity of
the book 50 Shades of Grey and Mrs. Silano’s exuberance at the increase in
sales as a result.

All in all, we are grateful for everyone’s assistance and we look forward to
the truth about this whole matter to eventually come out.

My client had always insisted that he had not stabbed anyone and that he had
been robbed.

As a result we are suing the Toronto Police Service Board and the detectives
for malicious prosecution and infringements to his rights under Ontario’s Human
Rights Code.

Perhaps the Toronto Police thought that I would just let this injustice
slide.

I don’t think so, Homie don’t play that.

To date, the Toronto Police Service has denied my client’s application to
remove his fingerprints and destroy his file.

I am holding Kibrom’s card that he gave to me on the day that his charges
were withdrawn.

It says:

Congratulations-

Give from the heart

Dream for the future

Change the world

Giving Back To The Community

Often times during the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we at times cannot see the forest for the trees. That is to say that one may be so caught up in trying to help in a professional manner that we don’t stop for the little things. When I was recently approached by J.P. Rodrigues to do a Justice in Pieces interview for the benefit of future Law Society of Ontario legal candidates, I did not hesitate to help. I did not hesitate because I originally got into law in large part to be a stalwart example of social causes in our dear city and to be there for those trying to also be a guiding light for future generations. I was glad to be interviewed by a platform that has also had other renowned lawyers appear such as current Federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh. However, the platform did not matter as much as the opportunity to wax lyrical about important matters with delightful individuals. For speaking engagements, please call me at my phone number 647-760-0166.

When it comes to giving advice, I don’t just do it on the job but I also do it for the community. Above else, I do it for the streets!
