Miss Jones was Peter Barlow's defence barrister at his trial for the murder of Tina McIntyre in October 2014. On the first day, the prosecution witnesses were Roy Cropper, Leanne Tilsley and Steve McDonald. She cross-examined Roy as to why he said that Peter was distressed when he had seen him going in and out of Tina's flat on the night of the murder. She then asked if it was dark, if there was adequate street lighting, and how he could tell that Peter seemed more troubled when he came out than when he went in. Roy said that his years of train spotting, brought out by Miss Jones in an attempt to belittle him in the eyes of the jury, had developed an accurate eye for detail.
