Section 18 GBH with intent - Not Guilty - 2021

DN was a vulnerable youth accused of a s18 wounding. Malik’s hard work and careful eye to detail and analysis of the evidence helped secure an acquittal on a serious charge. He worked hard with the Youth Offending Team and instructed psychologists to look at his needs which at trial meant that he was able to benefit from special measures. Malik was also able to identify issues which would go to his lack of ability to form the requisite intent. His dedication and commitment to his client ensured that DN was comfortable throughout the trial process and confident in the representation he received.
