Unan acted for an individual who faced a serious allegation of violence, which, if convicted would have meant an inevitable, lengthy, custodial sentence.

It was alleged that he used a CS gas canister as a weapon against the alleged victim, his neighbour. He vigorously denied this, raising self -defence, stating that he used the canister to protect himself.

Unan, along with the excellent Danny Barnard (one of our excellent in house barristers) instructed specialist forensic experts to examine the properties and effects of the CS spray, along with the issues of transferability and spray patterns. The Jury quickly acquitted the client upon hearing the strong forensic evidence.

This is yet another example of our dedicated, thorough, robust, successful criminal defence work, executed by our criminal lawyers.

Allegations of violence can be devastating, it affects the lives of those accused in every way and need to be taken seriously and our client was delighted was delighted with his acquittal.
