Mr John Dyer
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.
Career
John arrived late at the Bar (2002) after successful careers in agriculture, teaching (further education and prison education) and project management for a charity.
