R v DB

John Hurlock, instructed by Lizzie Sieprawska of Virdee Solicitors, secured the unanimous acquittal of his client charged with being concerned in the supply of MDMA, cocaine and magic mushrooms, following a trial at Kingston Crown Court. John’s client, X was a builder who had an assortment of ‘party drugs’ found in his bedroom and an alleged  “drugs phone” found in the kitchen. The phone contained messages showing the wholesale supply of large quantities of class A drugs.  The defence raised at trial was that some of the drugs were for his own personal use, and that the other drugs and the phone had been left at his address by his drug supplier without his knowledge.
