The Crown was originally proceeding by Indictment against Leschinski, which is the more serious charge. Prosecutor Scott Bartlett, however, told the court that Leschinski’s parents offered to pay to send him to a drug treatment centre - The Village of Hope - in New Brunswick. Bartlett said that since the Crown had proceeded by indictment, Leschinski wouldn’t qualify for a Conditional Sentence Order (CSO) to be served in the community, allowing him to go to the drug treatment centre. So, to facilitate this, Bartlett asked the court to expunge Leschinski’s guilty pleas so the Crown could re-elect Summary Conviction, the lesser serious charge, which would allow him to serve a CSO rather than going to jail.
