R v Thakrar - client acquitted l Newsvine : A Jetpak created by francisjawk26 : Jeteye

Bark & Co Solicitors have successfully secured the acquittal of Kevan Thakrar.  Our client is a serving prisoner having previously been convicted of triple murder in 2009.

Kevan Thakrar was charged with 2 counts of attempt murder and 3 counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent. All allegations related to attacks on prison officers in HMP Frankland, Durham.  

Giving evidence, Kevan Thakrar informed the jury that he suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder following an attack on him by officers within the prison system.  His defence centred around the bullying and racism that he has sustained whilst in the prison system and that his actions were in self defence.  

The Solicitor instructed, Marie Bourke, along with a dedicated defence team from Bark & Co, sought and succeeded in obtaining information which severely undermined the prosecution case and highlighted the torturous regime which is alive within the prison system.  Great lengths were taken to secure evidence from legal professionals, professionals within the medical field, as well as serving prisoners.

NADIR 'WAS BROKEN MAN WITH NO HOPE' l Newsvine : A Jetpak created by francisjawk26 : Jeteye

Former fugitive tycoon Asil Nadir has told a court that he fled Britain because he was a "broken man without hope".

Nadir said he could not see how he could get a fair trial on theft charges in 1993.

His offices had been raided, his papers seized and there was an allegation that an attempt had been made to bribe his trial judge.

Nadir, 71, said: "I was a totally broken man. My health was in tatters, my hope of a fair trial was in tatters, I had zero hope of receiving a fair trial."

Nadir was giving evidence at the Old Bailey where his trial for theft is in its fifth month.

The former head of Polly Peck International (PPI) is accused of siphoning off £150 million from his business empire.

The company was put into administration in 1990 with debts of £550 million.

Nadir, of Mayfair, central London, denies 13 specimen counts of theft amounting to £34 million between 1987 and 1990.

He fled Britain for his native Northern Cyprus before he could be tried, returning voluntarily in August 2010.

The prosecution says his flight from the country for 17 years is evidence of dishonesty.
