Notable cases

R v CD and another (Sexual offences)

Historic allegation of rape arising from events which occurred when all parties were children. Involved issues surrounding social media posts at the time, collusion between witnesses and omissions from the complainant’s medical history.

R v AS and 6 others (Drugs offences)

Class A drugs were acquired in quantity in Northern Ireland, trafficked to Liverpool and onward to the north east for distribution in Hartlepool and Newcastle. Most conspirators were unknown to police who stumbled on a major conspiracy.

R v TK (Murder)

A case of murder; appeared as junior for the defence. The case was unusual as the defendant pleaded guilty but was allowed to vacate his plea. He then advanced the defence of diminished responsibility despite the fact that two psychiatrists agreed that he was not diminished.
