R v E [2025] – Represented a Defendant charged with a s47 assault where the incident was captured on CCTV and the Defendant was identified by a police officer. No evidence offered following a successful application to exclude hearsay evidence and a s78 PACE argument.
R v G [2025] – Represented a Defendant who was a mere courier of drugs throughout POCA proceedings. The Prosecution reduced the benefit figure by £7,775.16 following written submissions that the benefit figure should relate to property actually ‘obtained’ rather than the value of the drugs involved.
R v H, H & M [2025] – Prosecuted a three-handed Class A drugs case which resolved mid-way through trial following discussions between counsel. All three Defendants entered guilty pleas.
