Emma Handley secures suspended sentence for client charged with kidnapping.

The kidnapping which involved four other defendants took place when the Defendant and victim were aged 16 years old. The kidnapping involved the victim being assaulted and placed in the boot of the car. Emma managed to persuade the Judge to draw back from the imposition of immediate custody by referencing the age of the Defendant, the delay between the offending, the trial and the sentencing, and the Defendant’s positive behaviour since the offence. Emma Handley was instructed by Norrie, Waite and Slater solicitors.
