The Solicitor was assigned by Gail McIntyre and Audrey Roberts after David Platt ran down Graeme Proctor on Victoria Street in October 2010. David was breathalysed but the results proved negative. At Weatherfield General, Tina McIntyre told the accident investigator that she suspected that it was a deliberate attack and that David had never forgiven Graeme for becoming an item with her - David's ex. Audrey Roberts also had to admit that her grandson had taken her car without her permission.
DC Redfern took over the case and heard of the feud between the three and that a few weeks before David had started to force himself on Tina and this incident had caused a fight between Graeme and David in the Rovers hours before the car incident. David was arrested and questioned in the solicitor's presence on suspicion of attempted murder. He claimed that he had blacked out and had no memory of what had occurred but Redfern told him that he couldn't believe him and after a second round of questioning he was formally charged. The solicitor accompanied David to Weatherfield Magistrates Court for the initial hearing where he collapsed unconscious. He underwent a brain scan which confirmed that he suffered from a rare form of epilepsy and had suffered a blackout at the time that he was driving. The charges were subsequently dropped and Graeme recovered.
