Richard Barraclough QC defends in murder cases

In R v Fullard, the defendant was charged with attempted murder and firearms offences. He was alleged to have been the driver of a car which ambushed that of rivals. One of the occupants pulled out a sawn off shotgun and fired at the occupants of the other car blowing a large hole in it. The shot was within millimetres of striking the victim. The defendant was charged after he was identified by three witnesses, two of whom were independent of the victims. One was a magistrate.
