"Dustin Lance Black Cleared of Assault Charges in U.K. Court"

Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black has been acquitted of assault charges in a London court after a district judge dismissed the case. The judge stated that based on the evidence, she could not properly convict Black. The charges stemmed from an altercation with BBC presenter Teddy Edwardes at a nightclub in August 2022. Black was accused of grabbing Edwardes' wrist and twisting it, causing a drink to be spilled on her. However, the judge found inconsistencies in Edwardes' evidence and stated that CCTV footage did not support her claims. Black expressed relief and gratitude for the judge's decision.

"Dustin Lance Black's U.K. Assault Trial: Chaotic Start and Alleged Altercation in Soho Nightclub"

The assault trial of Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, accused of throwing a drink over BBC Three presenter Teddy Edwardes in a London nightclub, has been delayed to November due to a double-booking in the court. The Crown Prosecution Service lost a file containing Edwardes' police interview, and the judge acknowledged that it was not a strong case. Black's lawyer argued for the case to be dismissed, questioning its public interest and expense, but the judge allowed the prosecution to proceed. Black's legal team has also applied for the trial to be thrown out due to abuse of process.
