Kelly Wildego, a 41-year-old mother, assaulted a police officer during a protest after her husband was arrested, driven by panic and a desire to join him.
Judge Freya Newbery decided to suspend Wildego's prison sentence due to the extraordinary hardship it would cause her disabled 13-year-old daughter, for whom she is the sole carer.
Prosecutor Alexander Agbamu stated that Wildego displayed aggressive behavior during the demonstration, shouting obscenities at the police while charging at them, contributing to the overall chaos.
Defense attorney Joseph Law emphasized Wildego’s emotional state, noting her actions stemmed from panic over her husband’s arrest, leading to her ‘stupid, rash decision’ to seek arrest.
