A physician who testified at Wotli s trial told county court judge b. R. Coleman that Fotti was driving 44 Miles an hour at most in a 40-mile-an-hour zone when the collision occurred. Fotti maintained the Light his Way was Green but judge Coleman did t believe him. But the judge acquitted Fotti on grounds he had a momentary memory lapse and because he doubted the Crown had proved its dangerous driving charge. In a written judgment for the Appeal court or. Justice r. J. Matas said Fotti purported to give an explanation for the collision but the explanation does t hold up. He approached and went through the intersection when the traffic signal was red.
