Disgraced Barrister Jo Sidhu KC Gave Key Evidence That Sent Man to Prison – Now Calls Grow to Overturn Conviction

London, 25 June 2025 — A growing campaign is calling for the immediate review and overturning of the 2015 conviction of Jason Juul (formerly Jason Place), after it emerged that disbarred barrister Jo Sidhu KC—whose testimony was pivotal to the case—lied under oath and misrepresented his character to the jury.

Mr Juul previously Place, served five years in prison after being found guilty of stalking Sidhu, a then-prominent QC. In court, Sidhu portrayed himself as a victim and a barrister of unimpeachable character. But in March 2025, Sidhu was disbarred by the Bar Standards Board for exploiting junior women in the legal profession. His disbarment shatters the foundation of the prosecution’s case against Juul.

“It’s now clear the jury were misled by a man who has been revealed as a predator masquerading as a legal role model,” said Mr Juul. “I’ve always said I was trying to expose a dangerous figure in the legal profession. Ten years later, the truth is finally out.”

The campaign also questions the reliability of witness Ally Howard, who described Sidhu as a mentor. Given the BSB’s findings, her testimony may have been influenced by Sidhu’s power over her.

The Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) is reviewing fresh evidence including:
