Soraya Lawrence and Verity Fowler-Rouault secure acquittal in large scale 'gun factory' conspiracy
Soraya Lawrence, leading Verity Fowler-Rouault, represented a client charged with having an integral role in the conversion of blank firing weapons into viable firearms that were then sold to the criminal underworld. Through Ms Lawrence’s submissions, she successfully argued that her client did not have the requisite knowledge to be party to the conspiracy despite repeated contact with the 'top dog'.
Ms Lawrence and Ms Fowler-Rouault's client was the only defendant to have the case against them stopped at the close of the prosecution case
