‘What is a driver expected to do when an unwanted intruder attempts to enter his vehicle against his will?’

In the summer of 2017, Mark Zelinsky started posting updates to his Facebook account to inform friends back home in Florida of “the dreadful news” he had to share.

In shock, Doyle, 37, went directly to a police station in St-Laurent, where he voluntarily provided a three-hour statement. Soon after, he was charged with two counts: failing to stop at the scene of an accident and dangerous driving, both with the added weight of causing bodily harm. In the early hours of June 24, 2017, Zachary Zelinsky lay in a pool of his own blood, in the middle of a St-Laurent Blvd. parking lot, for 12 minutes. A passerby who finally noticed him called for help.

That night, Doyle and a friend met Zelinsky at the Cleopatra strip club on St-Laurent Blvd. Zelinsky was visiting Montreal from Florida. At one point, they decided to leave the club and head to the nearby Cabaret Kingdom, about a minute away, where they bought a 40-ounce bottle of whisky for $420. Doyle paid for the bulk of it with money he won at a video-poker machine.

Doyle’s co-worker was also drinking heavily. Doyle, for his part, told the judge he drank two Corona beers and a glass of whisky earlier in the night, but had stopped drinking to sober up before driving. The pair started distancing themselves from Zelinsky when he became overbearing. In the end, Galiatsatos concluded Doyle was not at fault in the situation, ruling he “reacted in the same way most citizens would in the same circumstances.”
