Russell Brand's police interviews read in court | Trial day 11
On day 11 of Russell Brand's trial the prosecution delivered the final part of its case, before the jury heard the details of Brand's police interviews.
In this episode our Culture Correspondent Minnie Stephenson and producer Sachelle Connor recap what happened at Southwark Crown Court today – including the Judge's decision to change the indecent assault charge against Russell Brand into an attempted indecent assault.
Mr Justice Bennathan told jurors on Tuesday morning they should find Brand not guilty of the indecent assault allegation after he had concluded “there was insufficient evidence” to support the charge.
He also told the jury that a charge of attempted indecent assault, relating to the same incident in 2001, has now been added to the indictment.
The change relates to an allegation that Brand grabbed a female MTV worker by the arm and tried to drag her into a toilet.
Brand faces three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and one count of attempted indecent assault. He denies all the charges.
