David M. Paciocco is a justice of the Court of Appeal for Ontario in Toronto, Ontario.[1] Paciocco has authored several books on criminal law[2] and is considered one of Canada's foremost experts on the law of evidence.[3][4]

Career

Paciocco completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Western Ontario and a master's degree in law from the University of Oxford.[1] Paciocco was hired by the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law in 1982 and was called to the Ontario bar in 1983.[5] He was a member of the legal team that defended the Canadian Red Cross in the tainted blood scandal.[1] From 1994 to 1998, Paciocco was counsel in private practice.[5] Paciocco also later taught at the University of Windsor Faculty of Law.[1] In 1999, he published Getting Away With Murder: The Canadian Criminal Justice System, a book intended for the public about the Canadian criminal justice system.[4] In June 2005, Paciocco was nominated to receive an Honorary Doctorate from Laurentian University.[6]

In 2010 a Toronto Star investigation revealed that since becoming the ombudsman for the Canadian military in 2001 and then Ontario Ombudsman in 2005, André Marin had awarded Paciocco over $250,000 in untendered government contracts.[7] Marin and Paciocco complained about the article to the Ontario Press Council, which upheld with the complaint, finding the implications to be unfounded.[8]

Judge

In 2011, Paciocco was appointed a judge of the Ontario Court of Justice for the Ottawa region.[1] In 2014, Paciocco struck down the Government of Canada's mandatory victim surcharge, finding that it amounted to cruel and unusual punishment.[3] Ontario prosecutors appealed the decision, but later dropped it after a ruling by Justice Bruce Glass of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice upheld the mandatory victim surcharge.[2] In a later decision, Paciocco said he was bound to follow the higher court's ruling, but in an unusual move, offered detailed criticism of the decision.[2]

In 2015, Paciocco convicted a volunteer firefighter of drunk driving, although he threw out the blood alcohol testing after finding police violated the driver's rights.[9]

On April 7, 2017, Paciocco was elevated to the Court of Appeal for Ontario.{{citation needed|date=June 2017}}
