An Ontario judge declares a mistrial in one count of billionaire businessman Frank Stronach’s sexual assault conviction in a high-profile, historic case. Multiple outlets report that Superior Court Justice Anne Molloy grants a defence request for a mistrial on one charge, overturning that particular conviction and leaving it without effect. The original verdict, delivered in June, found Stronach guilty of sexual offences involving two women dating back decades. While the mistrial removes the conviction on the affected count, Stronach is reported to still face another conviction for an indecent assault charge. Coverage also indicates that sentencing-related steps continue for the remaining matter. One outlet reports that arguments on sentencing are expected to be heard in September. The decision is described as “rare,” reflecting that a mistrial is declared rather than a final acquittal or full retrial ruling for the entire case. The reporting reflects that the court’s action applies to the specific count for which the mistrial is ordered, while proceedings for the other conviction proceed through the scheduled legal process.
