Dan Taylor secures acquittal at Old Bailey

Dan represented AK, who was charged with assisting an offender in a murder investigation.

It was alleged that AK had assisted in the “getaway” of the first and second defendants following a shooting in South-East London.

The Crown’s case asserted a carefully planned and sophisticated shooting/stabbing in two separate incidents in April 2021. The first three defendants were charged with murder/attempted murder. The Prosecution case against all defendants relied on a vast volume of complex material, including CCTV footage, substantial phone material and cell site evidence.

AK was acquitted following a 10 week trial.

Dan has significant experience in cases of homicide. He has particular experience in cases with a ‘gang’ or drugs background. Read more: [Dan Taylor Profile]
