Justice Tracey Nieckarz ruled the Crown failed to prove Joseph Hubbard was not acting in self-defence when he stabbed John Reuben during an altercation in June 2022 following a drug deal.
Joseph Hubbard, who pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in connection to the 2022 death of John Reuben, testified that he feared for his life during a drug deal that turned into a robbery.
