The court ruling can be found at http://www.canlii.org/en/on/oncj/doc/2016/2016oncj35/2016oncj35.html http://www.canlii.org/en/on/oncj/doc/2016/2016oncj35/2016onc... -- I submitted the news story because it's rather more readable than the source judgment.
I find this case interesting because it shows some of the challenges courts run into when dealing with digital and online evidence; for example:
At one point during the testimony of Ms. Reilly, Crown counsel
tried to open the link to one of the tweets on the disk and could
not because Ms. Reilly had locked her account and made it private
the day before she testified. Therefore the Crown, the police, the
Court and the defendant could only see a screen that said, “Sorry:
you’re not authorized to see the status.” Ms. Reilly unlocked her
account and the trial continued.
