Charged with 'firing at dwelling-house or buildings', found not guilty at trial

R v MB

MB was charged with ‘firing at dwelling-houses or buildings’ contrary to the Crimes Act 1900. This is a serious charge that carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 14 years.

Christopher Cole represented MB and instructed barrister Greg Hoare as Counsel. A plea of not guilty was entered. The presiding Magistrate accepted arguments made on behalf of MB and found him not guilty. This was a great result for MB.
