XXX was charged with 11 counts of direct trafficking in n-methyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine to an undercover officer, 10 charges of possessing proceeds of crime, 3 weapons offences and 2 counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking. Patrick Fagan was successful in killing (securing discharges) on 16 of the charges at preliminary inquiry. The remaining 9 charges were scheduled for trial. Bottom Line: As a consequence of insurmountable witness problems this prosecution was resolved in its entry by way of the entry of a stay of proceedings one week prior to trial.
