Phil Smith acts for client in successful “Sexomnia” case

October 19, 2013

Tuckers’ Partner, Phil Smith, assisted by solicitor Henrietta Ronson, acted for Paul Fallon in a high profile case which resulted in a successful acquittal based on the defence of insane automatism – following an alleged sexual assault by Mr Fallon on a friend’s wife after a party.   Mr Fallon claimed not to be responsible for his actions which occured while he was asleep.  In a statement, Mr Smith said ‘My client is content that the jury accepted the account he provided from the start was the truth.  Three experts were instructed and examined him – one by the defence and a second by the prosecution.  The third – jointly appointed by the prosecution and defence – then endorsed the findings of the first two. All three experts agreed his actions occurred while in a sleep-induced state.’  Read more details of the case at – http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2466252/Justice-betrayed-says-victim-judge-frees-attacker-claims-sexsomniac.html
