Man to be sentenced for assaulting lawyer
A man will be sentenced in May for assaulting a lawyer outside the Supreme Court.
Kyle Tannock-Williams, 43, admitted assaulting Sara Tucker during an earlier court appearance, and reappeared in Magistrates’ Court yesterday.
The St George’s resident committed the offence in a confrontation outside Sessions House on January 17, 2024, while Ms Tucker’s client, Raheem Wray, was standing trial, accused of the murder of the footballer Osagi Bascome.
A jury found Mr Wray not guilty of the 2021 killing.
Tannock-Williams was further charged last April with assaulting Mr Wray and another woman, Ann-Marie Hewey, as well and threatening to kill Mr Wray during the same incident — but those charges have been dropped.
Prosecutors also dropped charges that 37-year-old St George’s resident Oronde Bascome was involved in assaulting Ms Tucker and Mr Wray.
Magistrate Maria Sofianos adjourned the case to May 22 for sentencing and extended Tannock-Williams’s bail until that time.
