No Evidence Offered: Possession of Class A Drugs with intent Charges Dropped at Harrow Crown Court 2025

Our client faced serious charges of possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and heroin. A drugs warrant was executed at an address where he and his co-defendant were located. Inside the property, numerous amounts of Class A drugs were found. A car key was recovered from our client’s pocket, which led to the search of a vehicle revealing a further quantity of crack cocaine and heroin, consistent with an intent to supply.

Senior solicitor James O'Donnell was instructed from the outset and took responsibility for preparing the case in detail. Our client was initially remanded in custody due to his record of previous offences, including convictions for supplying Class A drugs. A bail application was made, and thanks to the strong advocacy of counsel Mimma Sabato, bail was successfully granted pending trial.

As part of the defence, numerous disclosure requests were made, which the prosecution failed to investigate fully. We conducted a thorough and meticulous review of the evidence, ensuring no stone was left unturned. A formal request to review the case in light of the prosecution’s ongoing disclosure failures resulted in the Crown offering no evidence against our client.

This outcome was a result of the firm’s detailed preparation, persistent efforts, and the skilled advocacy of counsel, securing justice for our client.
