Case description

[1]    The appellant was convicted on 30 September 2024 at the High Court of Justiciary at Edinburgh of two violent charges. On 6 November 2024 the trial judge imposed an extended sentence of 12 years’ imprisonment, comprising a custodial term of 9 years and an extension period of 3 years.

[2]    The appellant appeals against conviction on charge 2, a charge of attempted murder, on the basis that that fresh exculpatory evidence has emerged since his trial. He argues that had the evidence been heard by the jury, they would have been bound to acquit on charge 2.

[3]    The appeal will be heard by the High Court of Justiciary Appeal Court on 11 March 2026.
