Hollywood screenwriter demands apology and ‘a lot of money’ from UK government over collapsed assault trial
Hollywood screenwriter Dustin Lance Black demands an apology and ‘a lot of money’ from the UK government after his 2023 assault trial collapsed mid-trial. The judge cited inconsistencies in the prosecution’s case and lack of evidence of an actual assault. Black expresses his desire for an apology from the Crown and asserts that the government owes him a lot of money. The alleged incident involved Black lashing out at BBC presenter Teddy Edwardes at a nightclub in central London in August, but the judge pointed out contradictions in the accuser’s evidence and declared that CCTV footage did not show an assault. Black’s defence lawyer argued that it was the accuser who had shown aggression. Following the judge’s dismissal, Black expressed gratitude, stating, ‘This case has flown in the face of everything that I am. I am very grateful to the judge for exonerating me.’
