Lucie Wibberley of the Garden Court Crime Team represented the defendant, a woman acquitted of firearms and drugs charges.
Lucie was instructed by Deborah Okebu and Alexander Firestone of Bailey Nicholson Grayson Solicitors.
A woman has been acquitted of two counts of possession of firearms, possession of ammunition and five counts of possession of drugs with intention to supply, further to a trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court.
The jury swiftly returned a verdict of Not Guilty for the young woman of good character, who had experienced domestic abuse, after considering evidence which included the outcome of psychiatric and psychological evaluation.
After her trial, the defendant stated:
“I am very grateful to the jury for their careful consideration of my case, and to my lawyers for all of their work on my behalf. I am now committed to bettering my life circumstances, and I am seeking therapeutic medical treatment to help me to do that, after finding the process of evaluation by specialist doctors during the course of the trial proceedings of great assistance.”
