Chloe Lennon’s Client Acquitted of Burglary

Chloe Lennon secured not guilty verdicts for a defendant accused of domestic and  non-domestic burglary (in the alternative). The defendant had been found by the homeowner in an outbuilding next to the family home. The outbuilding was used as a home office.  

Issues at trial included whether or not the outbuilding constituted a ‘dwelling’ and whether the defendant had the requisite mens rea (intention to steal). The trial also involved legal arguments regarding bad character evidence.

Chloe was instructed and assisted by Adam Aboelella of MTC Solicitors.
