'He did something that really could have hurt somebody'; fortunately, stray bullet did not injure anyone, but neighbour now too afraid to sit outside or sleep near that wall of house
It was 9:20 a.m. on a June day last year when Brandon Wyatt discharged a rifle inside a garage in a P-Patch neighbourhood.
The accused, who was in the garage with another man, pointed the weapon at the wall and pulled the trigger, prosecutor David Didiodato told Ontario Court Justice Heather Mendes. Wyatt was dressed in women's clothes and identified himself as Dana, the assistant Crown attorney said. The gunshot had an immediate and on-going impact on the neighbours' level of comfort in their home, and changed their lifestyle.Didiodato said the only mitigating factor is Wyatt's guilty plea, which came on the day of trial.But the subpoenaed witness, who had been in the garage with the accused, didn't show up for court.
