Helen’s client, C, was charged with aggravated burglary, having been captured on CCTV entering a takeaway shop, armed with a machete and tried to stab the Complainant; the issue was identification. Following successful legal arguments to exclude the purported identification, the Crown were forced to offer no evidence in respect of aggravated burglary.
Helen Dawson was instructed by Robert Batchelor, partner at Harris Cuffaro Nicholls.
