R v H and others. Cambridge Crown Court Jeremy Ornstin represented the sole defendant acquitted out of fifteen defendants, all of whom pleaded guilty or were convicted in connection with the wholesale supply and retail distribution of cocaine in Luton, Hitchin and Letchworth.
H was a close associate of several others amongst the hierarchy of the conspiracy, and was suspected of carrying a kilo of drugs on the day when he was intercepted by under cover police. He avoided the police attempt to arrest him, believing that it was attempted mugging. He alone was acquitted after a re-trial.
