R v X (2015)

Instructed by Tuckers Solicitors, Tom Orpin-Massey represented a client on his "third strike" for domestic burglary and facing a minimum three-year custodial sentence.

The client pleaded guilty but presented highly sensitive mitigating evidence and submissions were heard by the judge in chambers. The court was persuaded of the existence of exceptional circumstances and gave the client a suspended prison sentence (Inner London CC).
