Guernsey Judgment 36/2010 - Law Officers v Burtenshaw

View printable version

Criminal appeal from the Magistrates Court - appeal from conviction on two counts, assault on police and resisting police - appellant was not advised by the Judge of her right to give evidence or remain silent, immediately prior to her giving evidence from the witness - whether this constituted a major procedural irregularity - appellant had been advised of her rights at the beginning of the trial - no such thing as a 'perfect' trial but this was a fair one - appeal dismissed.
