Georgia-Mae Chung’s Client Unanimously Acquitted of Assault Occasioning Actual Bodily Harm and Sending Threatening Communications

Georgia-Mae’s client faced one charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and two charges of sending threatening communications.

It was alleged that, after assaulting and sending a threatening communication to his ex-partner, the client had called his friend and told him that he intended to kill her.

The jury heard evidence of the client’s bad character in relation to offences committed against his ex-partner both before and after the allegations that were the subject of the trial.

The issue for the alleged assault was self-defence. Georgia-Mae made a successful bad character application arguing that crime reports detailing the client’s allegations against his ex-partner should also be admitted. Georgia-Mae was instructed and assisted by Catherine Dormon of John Fuller and Partners.
