Ciara Moran secured a not guilty verdict following a successful submission of no case to answer at Swindon Crown Court. The Defendant had been accused of strangulation and assault occasioning actual bodily harm against the Complainant, who alleged her behaviour had been unprovoked. The Defendant said she had acted in self-defence against the Complainant, and denied having strangled him. After a day of cross-examination, Ciara successfully submitted that there was no case to answer and the jury were directed to return a verdict of not guilty.
