Wrongfully Accused Client Acquitted After Trial in Bishopbriggs Assault Case

Client Cleared of Wrongful Assault Allegations in Bishopbriggs Trial

This was a significant courtroom win Glasgow Lawyers, Kinloch. Our client was fully acquitted of multiple assault charges after the court found the so-called victims entirely lacking in credibility.
The truth of the matter was brought to light through strong defence evidence by Kinloch Lawyers and independent witness testimony.

Background of the Bishopbriggs Wrongful Assault Alllegations Assault Case

The charges arose from a street confrontation in Bishopbriggs, Glasgow, on 15th August 2024. Critically, the so-called victims in the case had previously pled guilty to assaulting our client’s autistic son. A fact that casts their later accusations in a very different light. During the incident, a dispute occurred in the street. The alleged victims subsequently contacted Police Scotland. They claimed that our client had assaulted them. Our client denied all allegations and cooperated fully with the legal process.

The 3 Charges Faced by Our Client

Our client faced three serious charges under Scottish criminal law:

1 Charge of Threatening or Abusive Behaviour

Under Section 38(1) of the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010, it was alleged that our client behaved in a threatening or abusive manner, shouting, swearing, and uttering threats of violence likely to cause fear or alarm.

2 Charge of Assaulting a Female

It was further alleged that our client assaulted a female individual by barging into her and striking her on the body, causing injury.

3 Charge of Assaulting a Second Person by Spitting

Finally, our client was accused of spitting on a second male person’s face, an act which was strenuously denied.

Defence Witnesses and the Trial Outcome

At trial, Kinloch Lawyers presented robust evidence to counter the prosecution's claims. Independent neighbours and other reliable witnesses were called to give an honest account of the incident. Their testimony was clear that our client had not acted in an aggressive or unlawful manner.

In contrast, the credibility of the prosecution witnesses, the so-called victims, was called into question. The Sheriff was made aware that these individuals had already been convicted of assaulting the client’s autistic son. This key fact seriously undermined their credibility.

The Decision and Outcome from the Wrongful Assault Allegations Court Case

The Sheriff expressed no hesitation in accepting our side of the story. The evidence provided by defence witnesses clearly outshone the claims of the complainants. This led to a complete acquittal on all charges.
