R v AB (Harrow Crown Court)

27/09/2024

Kitan Ososami’s client was charged with possession with intent to supply class A drugs (heroin and crack cocaine), simple possession of class A drugs (heroin and crack cocaine) and simple possession of class B drugs (cannabis) whilst on a suspended sentence for the same offences.

Police officers alleged to have seen him throw an item into a front garden and, upon retrieval, the item was confirmed to be class A drugs.

Kitan drafted a defence statement on behalf of her client who denied throwing any item and accused the police officers of racial targeting. Extensive disclosure requests were made and, following review, the Crown offered no evidence to all class A charges. He was fined for simple possession of class B and the Court did not activate his suspended sentence.

Instructed by Ghislaine Sandoval and Priya Pandya of Hodge Jones and Allen Solicitors.
