David Morton Secures Not Guilty Verdict in Attempted Rape Trial

Kenworthy's Chambers | May 24, 2021

David Morton, instructed by Cuttle & Co Solicitors, secured an acquittal for their client following an eight day rape trial held at one of Manchester's Nightingale Court, the Manchester Hilton Hotel.

The trial involved a cutthroat defence, with the client's co-defendant giving evidence against him.

Following one week of hearing evidence, the Jury returned with a not guilty verdict after two days of deliberations for the defendant, a very successful result against all odds.
