John Harrison KC Secures Acquittal in Hit Man Plot Case

John Harrison KC, instructed by Eve Hayes of EHB Solicitors, leading Georgina Buckley, represented  Dominique Saunders from Swansea in the recent trial at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court. Mr Saunders was alleged to be a hitman who conspired with Paul Lewis to murder Lewis’s wife.

Mr Saunders was acquitted after the jury accepted he had never intended to kill. The defence team led by John Harrison KC were able to demonstrate that Mr Saunders did not have either the intention or ability to put any plan into action. He had in fact scammed the co-defendant of the £1500 hit fee and gone on holiday to Benidorm with it.

The case has been widely reported. For more information see:
