The true story of former criminal defense lawyer Dylan Rhys Jones' experience of defending Rhyl serial killer Peter Moore, found guilty in 1996 of murdering four men and seriously assaulting many more, and referred to by the judge when sentencing as "as dangerous a man as it is possible to find."

Dylan Rhys Jones, a former criminal defense lawyer, had the daunting task of representing Rhyl serial killer Peter Moore, who was convicted in 1996 of murdering four men and severely assaulting numerous others. The judge, in his sentencing, described Moore as "as dangerous a man as it is possible to find."

Moore's criminal history was a chilling testament to his depravity. He had a long list of convictions, including assault, burglary, and theft. His victims included both men and women, and he had a particular penchant for targeting vulnerable individuals, such as the elderly and the homeless.

Despite the overwhelming evidence against Moore, Rhys Jones believed in his client's innocence and was determined to mount a strong defense. He spent countless hours researching the case, reviewing police records, and interviewing witnesses.

In the courtroom, Rhys Jones was a fierce advocate for his client. He cross-examined the prosecution's witnesses relentlessly, challenging their credibility and casting doubt on their evidence. He also presented a compelling defense theory, arguing that Moore had been framed by a jealous rival.

Despite Rhys Jones' best efforts, the jury found Moore guilty of all charges. The judge sentenced him to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

The case of Peter Moore and Dylan Rhys Jones was a harrowing reminder of the dangers of crime and the importance of a fair and just legal system. Rhys Jones' dedication to his client and his commitment to the pursuit of justice was a testament to his professionalism and his commitment to the cause of justice.
