Katie Jones client acquitted of bottle attack

After a five day trial at Lewes CC  (sitting at Brighton) Katie‘s client was cleared by a jury of unlawful wounding. In the face of CCTV footage showing the incident and evidence from six prosecution witnesses who were present at the scene, Katie’s client maintained she was acting in self defence. The jury’s verdict means Katie’s client retains her good character and can move on with her life after a near four year wait for trial. At the conclusion of the case, the trial Judge commended Katie, describing her conduct of the trial as ‘a most remarkable piece of advocacy.’
