3PB Barristers

3PB Barristers criminal barrister Berenice Mulvanny represented one of two Chichester community rangers who were charged with assault and false imprisonment of a 15 year old boy in Superdrug on 22nd March 2023. This case attracted considerable media attention after a short clip of the incident was published on the internet with allegations the incident was racially motivated. Miss Mulvanny's client detained the youth after being headbutted by the youth who was trying to shoplift. Whilst waiting for the police, the two community rangers were further assaulted by another youth. The prosecution had charged both defendants with false imprisonment for detaining the youth in handcuffs whilst waiting for the police to arrive. The Jury at Portsmouth Crown Court unanimously acquitted both defendants after a 7 day trial.  For press coverage see: https://lnkd.in/dnZ-mrHf   https://lnkd.in/dnrwkkiB   https://lnkd.in/dXCNVgta To instruct Berenice Mulvanny on a criminal matter, please email her clerk Stuart Pringle on stuart.pringle@3pb.co.uk or call him on 01962 868884.
