Upon taking the case, our criminal defence solicitors identified a cornerstone that would pivot the case in our client’s favour. Despite the initial appearance of a burglary, the fact that our client had keys to the property stood as an irrefutable counterpoint. Our client’s access nullified the notion of trespassing, a necessary element to substantiate a burglary charge. Moreover, not a single item was reported missing, collapsing the accusation of theft.
With the landscape of the case reshaped by these insights, our criminal defence solicitors approached the prosecution with our findings. The turning point was our argument that while our client admitted to being at the address and causing some damage, this did not amount to burglary but rather, at most, criminal damage. This distinction was pivotal.
Recognising the strength of our position and the weak foundation of their case, the prosecution offered no evidence supporting the burglary charges. Instead, our criminal defence solicitors negotiated pleas aligned with the actual events of criminal damage, not burglary. The outcome? Rather than facing a potential custodial sentence, our client was fined. We argued successfully that the damage was minimal, repairable, and historical, with no recurring incidents or contact with the complainant.
This case exemplifies the power of nuanced legal defence and the value of a detailed examination of the facts. It’s a testament to our firm’s philosophy that every case deserves a vigorous defence, informed by a deep understanding of the law and the circumstances of each client.
