Kitan Ososami represented a young man charged with multiple Class A drug supply and possession counts from 2020 to 2022.

Following a guilty plea on the first day of trial to three counts of being concerned in the supply of class A (cocaine and heroin), he was sentenced to an 18-month Community Order with 20 Rehabilitation Activity Requirement Days and 80 hours unpaid work.

The Judge acknowledged that the case featured elements of ‘significant’ and ‘lesser’ roles, in accordance with the Sentencing Guidelines. However, the Judge was persuaded by Kitan’s submissions regarding the imposition of a non-custodial sentence because of the time spent on remand and being subject to a qualifying curfew, the delay in proceedings, previous child criminal exploitation, and other substantial personal mitigation.

Further, no penalty was given for the breach of a Suspended Sentence Order he admitted to.

MTC Solicitors instructed Kitan.
