Kitan Ososami represented a woman of good character charged with assaulting an emergency worker in the Central Criminal Court.

The allegation arose out of an incident at Notting Hill Carnival in 2024, where a police officer alleged that her hair was pulled by Kitan’s client. The Complainant and two other police officers gave evidence.

Following robust cross-examination and inspection of all officers’ body-worn footage, Kitan made a half-time submission of no case to answer as the live evidence of hair pulling contradicted the body-worn footage.

The application was successful, and the Judge directed the jury to return a not guilty verdict.

Adam Abo-El-Ella of MTC Solicitors instructed Kitan.
