Another Success for Beth Vaughan at Reading Magistrates’ Court

Beth Vaughan represented a Defendant at Reading Magistrates’ Court charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH).

One of the civilian witnesses failed to attend and the prosecution made an application to adjourn the trial which Beth objected to. The District Judge agreed with Beth’s submissions and the trial proceeded.

Our client accepted the strike but stated that it was a pre-emptive strike. The complainant was cross-examined at length about his actions prior to the strike and after hearing evidence from our client and his defence witness he was acquitted by the District Judge.
