Andrew Gurney achieved a favourable outcome in a serious multi-handed case involving allegations of attempted murder.

Representing one of four defendants charged following an incident in Blackpool, Andrew secured a resolution through a guilty plea to section 18 wounding with intent. The plea was entered after the jury had been sworn, avoiding the need for the remainder of the trial.

The defence case focused on the important distinction between the offence admitted and the specific intent required to establish attempted murder. Following sentence proceedings, his client received a sentence of four years and nine months' imprisonment.

Andrew was instructed by Betsy Senior of Fylde Law.
