Miss Dobson

Miss Dobson was the barrister who defended Pete Buchanan at his trial for the sexual abuse of Cleo McQueen in June 2016.
Miss Dobson read out messages to the court, exchanged between Pete and Cleo. Miss Dobson accused Cleo of being obsessive, to the point where Pete needed to change his phone number. Cleo told the court that she slept with Pete when she was 13, to which Miss Dobson accused her of being a liar by painting her out to be unreliable. The judge allowed Miss Dobson to ask about the car accident that resulted in the death of Rachel Hardy, to which Cleo admitted that Holly Cunningham had been driving the car.
Miss Dobson proceeded to question Celine McQueen over Pete's presence in the McQueen family, to which Celine said that everyone but Cleo had a negative reaction towards Pete. She questioned Harry Thompson over Pete's disapproval of his and Cleo's relationship and proceeded to bring up Harry's sexuality and Pete's hospital admission in January 2016. Speaking to Jade Albright, Miss Dobson asked about Cleo's actions over Jade and Pete spending time together.
With Reenie McQueen at the stand, Miss Dobson pointed out that there was no evidence to corroborate Reenie's statement, and accused her of lying as Pete did not love her. After Miss Dobson told her that she could not prove that the relationship began before Cleo was 16, Reenie grabbed a water jug and threw it at Pete.
Pete painted Reenie out to be an abusive alcoholic as Miss Dobson questioned him. He also accused Cleo of fantasising about him. Taking her to the Fairfield Hotel in Manchester in July 2012 was for her birthday, and that they had slept in separate beds. Miss Dobson asked about an incident which made Cleo suddenly fall for him; he said that Reenie had kicked Cleo out and felt threatened into having a relationship with her. However, Pete's evidence was proved inaccurate when prosecuting barrister Mr. Philips obtained a photograph from July 2012, showing Pete and Cleo sharing the same bed in the Fairfield Hotel. He was subsequently found guilty and received a sentence of 7 years imprisonment.
