Paxton was arrested three years ago after a badly beaten and emaciated man was dumped at a Regina hospital.
Defence lawyers tried to prevent the doctor reports from being entered as evidence.
The judge also ruled that Paxton failed to show there was a breach of his Charter rights.
Paxton’s dangerous offender hearing is to resume Thursday.
