A man accused of attempted murder refused to give a plea during a hearing at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday.
Shaun Duckworth, of Breeze Hill, Walton, previously appeared at Wirral Magistrates Court charged with the attempted murder of Paul Higham and possession of cannabis. He was remanded into custody to appear at Liverpool Crown Court today when he was asked to enter a plea.
During the hearing, Duckworth said he did not believe he had been given up to date information by his counsel. He claimed he had only had a 40 minute conference with his counsel three and a half weeks prior, so the information he needed to give a plea was “out of date”.
