McArthur Solicitors is pleased to announce another excellent result at trial for our professional client, a senior figure within the Ministry of Defence, who was found Not Guilty of Assault by Beating. Detailed written representations to the Crown were served prior to trial, addressing evidential issues and the lack of public interest, which were ultimately not accepted.
Our Approach
The prosecution case relied upon the evidence of three eyewitnesses who gave evidence that they had seen the alleged assault. Through careful preparation and detailed analysis of the evidence, the defence case successfully demonstrated inconsistencies and the police’s failure to properly investigate our client’s account.
A fantastic team effort and an important result for our client.
Our Team
The case was prepared and led by Andrew McArthur & Andrea Skov and assisted by George Fox, along with Kim Aiken of Rose Court Chambers who was instructed as trial counsel.
