The jury determined that Bleck was the driver and found him guilty of failing to stop after an accident resulting in bodily harm and of driving while prohibited. He was sentenced to a global sentence of four years and six months less credit for pretrial custody. Jamal gave police statements, in which he variously implicated himself or Bleck as the driver. Ford-Jones gave conflicting evidence about whether Bleck or Jamal was the driver of the vehicle.
