Crime and Regulatory Crime
Juliet Osborne is completing her crime pupillage with 3PB, having worked for twelve months as a pupil barrister with a criminal defence solicitors' firm on the South Coast.
Recent cases include:
R v LF (2025, Bournemouth Crown Court): Defending, the defendant was initially charged with a serious head-stamping ABH. After successful representations, the prosecution accepted a lesser plea, resulting in the defendant receiving a 16-day community sentence.
R v AK (2025, Bournemouth Crown Court): Defending, sentence - PWITS A and possession of a bladed article. Mitigated sentence down to 2.5 years.
R v BP (2025, Southampton Crown Court): Defending, sentence - £2m conspiracy to steal and conspiracy to handle stolen goods. BP’s role distinguished from that of his co-defendants. Sentenced to 3 years imprisonment. Two co-defendants received significantly longer sentences.
Chief Constable of Northamptonshire Police v IF (2025, Northampton Magistrates’ Court): Defending, contested application for Sexual Risk Order – Allegations of grooming and multiple acts of a sexual nature towards IF’s stepdaughter. Evidence included WhatsApp messages spanning a two-year period. Application refused.
R v SR (2025, Poole Magistrates’ Court): Defending, acquittal - Successful argument against the admission of ‘res gestae’ evidence. The evidence was excluded and the case was dismissed.
R v HD (2025, Poole Magistrates’ Court): Defending, sentence - HD could be seen on CCTV breaking a bottle and making repeated stabbing actions towards the victim, who ultimately only suffered minor injuries and did not provide a statement to Police. CPS charged ABH, but relied upon the CCTV in the sentence hearing, emphasising that an attempt s.18 would have been charged had the victim provided a statement. After hearing mitigation on HD’s behalf, the court was persuaded to suspend the sentence.
