R -v- J

Our client was a serving Royal Marine charged with conspiracy to import some 4 tonnes of cannabis. The drugs were found on a boat which was intercepted off the coast of Portugal by the Royal Navy. The operation was a joint one involving the Police and Customs & Excise. A vast amount of documentation and unused material was involved in the Prosecution. Enquiries abroad were conducted. The matter ultimately collapsed prior to the trial proper commencing when the Judge, accepting the defence arguments, found that the prosecution was an abuse of process.
