Large amount of data seized by career criminal - he may nobble the jury (8)
I believe the answer is:
embracer
'large amount of data seized by career criminal he may nobble the jury' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'large amount of data seized by career criminal he' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'amount' could be 'brace' (brace is a kind of amount) and 'brace' is located in the answer.
'he' could be 'em' and 'em' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for embracer that I've seen before include "One who hugs" , "person who attempts to influence a jury" , "One trying to influence jury" , "One holding another in their arms" , "One willing to accept" .)
