Jemima Lovatt and Ethan Dighton secures unanimous acquittals.

December 10, 2025

Jemima Lovatt, for the First Defendant, and Ethan Dighton, for the Second Defendant, secure unanimous acquittals following a 6-day ABH trial at Canterbury Crown Court. The Prosecution case included evidence of the complainant who knew the four defendants, two independent eyewitnesses, DNA evidence and number plate recognition. Each Defendant denied being present or otherwise involved in the assault. Despite the strength of this case, Jemima and Ethan introduced evidence of the bad character of the complainant to great effect which painted a clear picture of a vendetta by him against their defendants and a motive for falsely pinning this assault on them.

Jemima Lovatt and Ethan Dighton were instructed by Karley Styles of TS Law.
