James and Christian acted for the first defendant in this multi-handed historic manslaughter and conspiracy to rob trial.

The defendant was alleged to have been involved in the killing of a major drug dealer from Poland. The case involved analysis of complex data, including cell site evidence.

Despite being brought on to the case at a late stage, by working collaboratively with solicitors, counsel were able to achieve this successful result for the defendant.
