Lily Roberts-Phelps secures acquittal in case of possession of a firearm/ ammunition with intent to endanger life

Lily Roberts-Phelps, instructed by Look-Chih Wang of Lound Mulrenan Jefferies secures acquittal in case of possession of a firearm/ ammunition with intent to endanger life. The case involved a bag found out at the defendant’s home with two firearms stored with compatible ammunition. The case required a forensic analysis of expert evidence – both in respect of the defendant’s DNA which was found on the firearm and drugs. The case was further complicated by complex issues of character evidence and a cut throat against the co- defendant, jointly charged. The defendant pleaded guilty prior to trial to the lesser offence on the basis he believed the bag to contain cocaine.
