Attempt Murder Charge Reduced to Assisting Offender for Rebecca Filletti & Peter Haney Client.

Rebecca Filletti, leading Rebecca Penfold of SJB and instructed by Peter Haney from BLJ Solicitors, represented a young man facing an allegation of attempted murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life. 

 

It was alleged that the two defendants were part of a joint enterprise in their attempt to kill by shooting another male, who was armed with a machete. 

 

Significant disclosure requests were made on the defendant’s behalf resulting in a vast amount of background material coming to light, following which the Crown accepted a plea to assisting an offender. 

 

The defendant, who was sentenced for other matters at the same time, received a sentence of imprisonment of 40 months.
