Oscar Robins Secures Acquittal in the Youth Court Following Four-day Knife Point Robbery Trial

Oscar Robins‘ youth client was alleged to have been involved in two knife point robberies and separately charged with possession of a machete and dangerous driving. He was arrested following a police chase, having dangerously driven a moped stolen in the first robbery within the vicinity of the second robbery.

The defendant disputed presence at both robberies and relied on the modern slavery defence in relation to dangerous driving. The client maintained that he had been compelled by others to purchase and ride the moped, and had received a positive conclusive grounds decision.

Following a four day trial involving seven live witnesses, Oscar’s client was acquitted on all charges by a District Judge.

Oscar was instructed by James Ojukwu of SVS Solicitors.
