Andrew Minifie has been acquitted of the charges laid against him following a fatal home invasion that took place at this house in Berry Mills, a community near Moncton, in 2025. (Radio-Canada)
A man whose home was the scene of a fatal home invasion near Moncton last year has been acquitted of multiple gun and drug charges.
Andrew Minifie was supposed to stand trial in Moncton provincial court beginning Wednesday on charges including possessing firearms for a dangerous purpose.
Instead, Crown lawyer Lisanne Maurice told Judge Ami Assignon the Crown could not fulfill its obligation and that it “offers no evidence in this file.”
In response, defence lawyer Stan MacDonald, who spoke over the phone in court, sought the dismissal of all charges.
“I will find the defendant not guilty on all of the charges,” Assignon replied.
