Position
John Dyer’s practice is principally in criminal defence.
He now appears regularly in the Crown Court at the eastern end of the Western Circuit, having previously enjoyed a practice focusing on Bristol, Gloucester, Hereford and Worcester.
The majority of defence instructions are for serious violence, serious sexual offences (particularly difficult matters, e.g., historic, rape while asleep), drug production/supply, weapons and fraud, also in cases in which the evidence features forensic material, telephone analysis (messages, cellsite), psychiatric or psychological assessments, accounts, etc.
Recent defence appearances included: in CACD a reduction in sentence in a case of causing/inciting sexual activity (child) from 14 years’ imprisonment to five; in Bournemouth Crown Court an armed robbery acquittal in which DNA evidence allegedly linked the client to the scene.
