Shusmita Deb’s client unanimously acquitted of armed robbery at St. Alban’s Crown Court.
The Crown’s case was that Shusmita Deb’s client, together with others, robbed an individual of items such as cash and a laptop from where they had been staying temporarily.
The complainant had positively identified the defendant in a video identification parade and knew a name the defendant was known as. The Crown also relied on maps and photographs. Another individual charged with robbery had pleaded guilty.
The defence was mistaken identity. The defendant denied being present during the robbery. At the end of the trial, the jury unanimously acquitted the defendant.
Shusmita Deb was instructed by Duncan Lewis Solicitors.
