Criminal Law

Conspiracy to Murder

Understand Your Situation

Conspiracy charges often rely on circumstantial evidence like phone logs and messages. We provide the analytical defence needed to refute these claims.

Defending Against Conspiracy Allegations

Conspiracy to murder charges allege an agreement between two or more people to kill someone. You can be charged even if no attack ever took place. The prosecution often relies on text messages, encrochat data, or covert surveillance to infer an agreement.

We are experts in dismantling these complex evidential pictures. We provide context to innocent communications and challenge the admissibility of surveillance evidence. Mere knowledge of a plan is not enough; you must be a party to the agreement. We fight to prove you were not part of any criminal plot.

Plan Your Defence

The Agreement is the Crime

Under the *Criminal Law Act 1977*, the offence is complete as soon as the agreement is made. The prosecution does not need to prove any steps were taken to carry out the murder.

The critical defence lies in the *mens rea*: the defendant must intend that the offence (murder) be committed. We often defend cases involving 'encrochat' or encrypted devices, challenging the attribution of devices to defendants and the interpretation of fragmented messages. We ensure the jury distinguishes between 'loose talk' and a genuine agreement to kill.

Challenge the Data

Phone records or Encrochat? We scrutinise the digital evidence against you.

Legal Aid Availability

For many criminal matters, from police station interviews to Crown Court trials, public funding (Legal Aid) may be available to cover your legal costs.

Eligibility is determined by the seriousness of the case and, in some instances, a means assessment. Our team will conduct an immediate, confidential assessment of your eligibility to ensure that financial constraints do not stand in the way of a robust defence.
