The client was part of a group of seven males implicated in an attack on a vehicle with bats and hammers, and the killing of the vehicle's occupant. The Crown relied on a vast amount of electronic evidence.

Represented one of four defendants charged with murder. Following a lengthy trial the client was acquitted of murder and found guilty under s.18, receiving a far more lenient sentence.

Charged with possession with intent to supply class A drugs after being arrested with a co-defendant during a suspected drug deal. Despite cocaine being found on his person, the defence successfully argued that the client was not involved in drug trading.
