TORONTO — Figures from a mass of G20-related court appearances show the Crown withdrew charges against 58 people.
A group of 304 people -- the government had originally pegged it at 303 -- were scheduled to appear in a northwest Toronto courthouse Monday facing charges stemming from the summit.
A spokesman for the Ministry of the Attorney General says four people did not appear and bench warrants were issued for them.
The Crown stayed or withdrew charges against 31 people. An additional 22 had their charge withdrawn if they made a donation to charity and five were withdrawn through peace bonds.
In addition, six people pleaded guilty and nine others were listed in error, which the spokesman says is typically a result of duplication.
The remainder of the crush of people that descended on the courthouse Monday -- 227 of them -- have had their cases adjourned, mostly to September or October.

I think he was pushed to take matters into his own hands. I have a teenage son and if he was involved with a drug dealer I would be furious and try anything to save him like this father did for his daughter. Why do police often say they can't do anything until it's too late? Whether it be a drug dealer or an abusive spouse, the police can't seem to do anything until something really bad happens. In this case they could have raided the drug dealers home and arrested him. The whole town knew what was going on in that house but yet the police chose to do nothing. Release this man and give him a medal for doing the right thing by his daughter. I can't wait to see the episode on W5, I will certainly be watching this one.
