Samantha Marsh Secures Successes in Defence and Prosecution – with Strong RASSO Outcomes
Samantha Marsh has had a busy and productive period in court, securing notable results on both sides of the criminal bar – with a growing run of successes in rape and serious sexual offence (RASSO) cases.
On the prosecution side, Samantha secured a conviction in a three-day burglary trial at Peterborough Crown Court, with the defendant sentenced to the mandatory minimum.
Defending, she achieved an acquittal after a challenging five-day rape trial at Huntingdon Crown Court instructed by Devas Keogh James solicitors. This was followed by a successful defence in a two-day burglary trial at Peterborough Crown Court, which also resulted in an acquittal instructed by Hunt and Coombs solicitors.
More recently, instructed by Credence Law, Samantha acted as defence counsel in a RASSO case involving two minors. The matter raised complex admissibility issues which, following careful preparation and robust defence advocacy, led to the case being dismissed.
In her latest trial, Samantha defended a two-day sexual assault case at Cambridge Crown Court. The Defendant, a taxi driver, was acquitted by the jury after discrepancies in the complainant’s account were brought to light in cross-examination.
Taken together, these outcomes reflect Samantha’s expanding RASSO practice and a strong recent success rate in sexual offence trials. They also demonstrate her meticulous preparation and clear, sensitive advocacy — ensuring robust representation and fairness throughout the trial process.
