Jenny Wiltshire

Jenny Wiltshire has a wealth of experience in police investigation of major crime and the complex lengthy Crown Court trials to which they lead. Jenny has represented defendants in many of the largest and most high profile prosecutions of recent years including those investigated by the Serious and Organised Crime Agency, Major Incident Teams, Operation Trident, and the Sapphire Unit.

Cases she has undertaken include murder, rape, major drugs investigations, fraud and confiscation. Her particular expertise lies in dealing with and unravelling difficult forensic issues. Her work often involves the mastery of a vast body of material, complex medical opinion and telephone evidence. She also has a particular interest in psychiatric defences to murder charges.

She is currently representing a father suspected of the murder of his baby, a mother charged with the murder of her teenage daughters, a councillor charged with corruption and a client charged with conspiracy in relation to over a thousand bogus immigration applications.

Notable past cases include :

• R v Brown & another (Central Criminal Court 2005). Client acquitted of murder following fatal shooting in Tottenham High Road. Case featured on BBC documentary ‘Murder Blues’.
• R v Mason & others (Bristol Crown Court 2006). The biggest ever investigation by Avon & Somerset Police together with Operation Trident. The case involved coordinated shootings that took place simultaneously in Bristol and London. The defendants were acquitted following a five month trial for conspiracy to murder.
• R v Assani & others (Nottingham Crown Court 2007). Murder trial and subsequent appeal against conviction and sentence to Court of Appeal.
• R v Travers & another (Wood Green Crown Court 2007). Client arrested for murder and subsequently prosecuted for preventing a burial following the death of her sister. Prosecution offered no evidence.
