Margo acted for a Defendant who pleaded guilty to s18 wounding with intent to cause GBH shortly before trial. The Defendant had hit the Complainant with a blunt object causing a skull fracture.
Following mitigation, the judge was persuaded that, due to the Defendantās mental health issues and the delay in bringing the proceedings, a 2 year suspended sentence was appropriate.
Margo was instructed by Zachary Whyte of Sperrin Law.
