GUILTY or NOT? CDN version — the daily Canadian criminal case puzzle

GUILTY or NOT? CDN version is the daily Canadian criminal case puzzle, hosted by Every Defence LLP. One real Canadian criminal case a day: read the facts as the court had them, weigh the Crown against the defence, render your verdict, then see what the court actually decided.

How the Canadian edition works

Every case is a real, reported Canadian decision, summarised as the court had the facts, with the names held back until the verdict. The brief gives you the facts, then the Crown’s argument and the defence’s. You commit to GUILTY or NOT, and the court’s real decision — and its reasoning — is revealed. Right calls build your streak and your points, and points carry you up the Canadian bench: Justice of the Peace, Ontario Court Judge, Superior Court Justice, Justice of Appeal, Supreme Court Justice, Chief Justice. The archive of past cases is open to everyone. How to play.
