“ obviously has a right to perform her job without feeling that something like this might happen,” the prosecutor said.Degen said someone might have received a discharge for an offence like this 10 or 15 years ago, but society has changed since then. “Two gentlemen the accused was with were sitting there, both shocked by the incident,” Degen said. “One of the friends confronted the accused about the incident and said, ‘What did you do?’Police arrived, looked at security video of the incident and spoke with the manager, who had kicked Odrowski out of the bar. One of Odrowksi’s friends provided a statement to police and identified him as the culprit.
The Crown attorney said he had difficulty accepting the defence’s position that Odrowski’s PTSD – specifically a lack of impulse control – may have played a role in the commission of the offence. He noted that a letter from a therapist indicated that Odrowski struggles with impulse control when confronted about something or when he perceives he’s being treated in a certain way.
