Christopher Pix’s client was acquitted of a s18 GBH assault after a 3-day trial at Salisbury Crown Court.
His client, a serving prisoner at HMP Guys Marsh, was alleged to have attacked a fellow inmate with a weapon. The complainant’s face was severely broken and his cheek was indented. The whole assault was captured on CCTV within the prison wing.
Christopher’s client stated that he had acted pre-emptively in self-defence.
The jury unanimously acquitted him after less than 45 minutes. He was also acquitted of a s20 GBH charge in the alternative.
Christopher was instructed by Simon Lacey from Simon Lacey and Co Solicitors.
