R v RR (Southwark Crown Court)

Application to dismiss prompts Crown to offer no evidence

Kitan Ososami’s client of good character was charged with assaulting an emergency worker by beating. It was alleged that she threw a cigarette at a police officer during a solidarity march for Gaza.

Despite police witnesses saying they saw the cigarette hit with the complainant, the body-worn footage did not corroborate this.

Following Kitan’s submission of a written application to dismiss, the Crown offered no evidence.

Instructed by Zachary Whyte and Ruby Breward of Sperrin Law.
