K.J. Yossman Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black must wait until November to fight charges of common assault in a U.K. court.
He is accused of throwing a drink over BBC3 presenter Teddy Edwardes in a London nightclub last year. Having flown in from the U.S., Black arrived at Westminster Magistrates Court in London on Tuesday morning expecting the one-day trial to take place. He was accompanied by his legal team.
However it turned out that Court 9, where the hearing was set to go ahead, had been double-booked with another high-priority case. After an hour of to-ing and fro-ing Black’s trial was moved to Court 1 with Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring presiding over it. It then emerged that the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), who are bringing the case against Black, had lost a file containing Edwardes’ police interview and no transcript was available.
The police officer who had conducted the interview was not available to confirm whether she still had body-cam footage of the interview or any notes. Pointing out that Black had spent significant time and resources flying to the U.K. to stand trial on what the Chief Magistrate agreed were relatively low-level charges, his lawyer Helena Duong urged for the case to be dismissed.
