Client Exonerated from Shocking Assault and GBH Charges!

Mr. O had gotten into an argument with the complainant, Ms. S when they were seated in his car after a night out. Another friend, Ms. R was sitting in the backseat. During this, Mr O and Ms S’s argument got violent – and Ms S slapped Mr O across the face. Furious and confused, Mr. O demanded that she get out of the car, and managed to get her out. Ms. R then sat in the front, and the two drove away. Imagine his surprise when Mr O is then arrested for assault and grievous bodily harm, as Ms S claimed that he ran her over with his car.  the truth of the matter. Our lawyers spring to action, and begin their legal investigation 

Mr O immediately contacts our criminal defence solicitors to represent him and uncover the truth, starting with analysing all evidence submitted by the prosecution. Following this, our lawyers gathered witness statements from friends, family members, and co-workers, as well as medical reports about the injuries sustained by Ms. S, and whether the injuries matched the claims of assault she had made. 

Our defence solicitors discovered several key facts – the medical reports did not match the claims that she made. Furthermore, witness statements from Ms R corroborate our client’s version of events, and character statements from friends and colleagues further prove that he is not a violent or vindictive man by any means. We closely examined the injuries sustained by Ms. S and whether the injuries matched the assault claims she had made. 

During the trial, our lawyers submitted the evidence they had gathered – proving that the allegations were entirely false, and maliciously made. Faced with the facts, the prosecution had no choice but to drop all charges, resulting in our client going home a free man.
