Today her barrister, Susan Meek, told the jury at Blackfriars Crown Court in London that she would
not be giving evidence in her defence.
Judge Murphy had asked Ms Meek whether she had told her client that the jury would be free to
draw such inferences as might be proper from a decision not to give evidence.
The barrister said she had.
Does she intend to give evidence? the judge asked. Ms Meek replied: No.
Dawson, of Hackney, East London, is on trial alongside her brother, Matthias Dawson, 32, accused
of intimidating a security guard at the Finsbury Park mosque in North London last June.
It is alleged they approached Daudi Yusuf at the mosque after an incident between him and Ms
Dawsons husband, Royal Barnes.
Both defendants deny a single charge of witness intimidation.
