Our client was alleged to have caused grievous bodily harm to her neighbour (complainant) by pushing her to the ground and causing her spine to fracture. The alleged assault occurred against a complex and acrimonious backdrop and varying eye witness accounts of the incident, which we submitted to the jury was sufficient for them to entertain reasonable doubt as to the veracity and accuracy of the complainants evidence and the manner in which the injury was sustained. After a four day trial the jury took just two hours to deliver a unanimous not guilty verdict.
