A woman convicted of riot after a Bristol Kill the Bill protest - which she had not intended to join - has been jailed. Charly Pitman denied wrongdoing after the event turned into an attack on police outside Bridewell Police Station on March 21 last year.
But after a trial a jury convicted her of riot after deliberating for just over an hour. Pitman, 24, whose address was given as Chelsea Road in Easton, appeared at Bristol Crown Court today (July 7, 2022) supported by a large contingent of family and friends.
Judge Julian Lambert jailed her for three years. He told Pitman: "You could and should have left the scene of major public disorder, but you chose to stay and turned to violence.
