Wonder if that was another reason as to why his defense lawyer gave an interview.

 

[Ardoch]

Does his team have to be provide new evidence to support an appeal ?

 

[Kikixxxx]

He must know he’s got absolutely no chance though. Especially with that social work interview he gave, he’s got to be doing it to p*** everyone off.

I really hope it backfires and he gets it increased instead

 

[TaylorCallum]

Doesn't surprise me. He's clearly just doing it for the spectacle. There's not a chance he's getting a reduction.

Does his team have to be provide new evidence to support an appeal ?

Not necessarily. It could be that his argument is that his sentence is too high. They will probably look in to previous murder/rape cases of children and the sentences handed out in those. If the sentences are lower then that would be a basis for an appeal. A lot of Scottish cases follow precedent and generally judges don’t like to break a precedent.

Does anyone know if his sentence can be/could be increased on review?

Theoretically it could,it has happened in the past with adults,but in this case I would say it's unlikely,I think 27 years was the max Lord Matthews could give considering his age(Not a point of law but an accepted guide),so I don't see it being increased,but I think it is highly unlikely he will get it reduced,and I think he knows that,we said all along he would do this at the 11th hour just to cause more suffering,and i believe that is exactly his intention

 

[Kiranerys]

Does his team have to be provide new evidence to support an appeal ?

I don't think so,most probably will just use his age as a reason why it's too long,but we all know it isn't and he's not going anywhere for at least the next 26 years!!

 

[Deano saunders]

He seems to thrive on the attention and causing as much hurt and pain as he possibly can

 

[Cappuccino]

I knew he would appeal. I guess it's no harm to get an appeals court to take a look since its a very unusual crime, but I doubt it will be decreased.

 

[Starfishcherub]

I thought he would appeal. Maybe he will use the fact he's still a child as a reason why it should be reduced. Don't be surprised if he gets a successful appeal.

 

[Deano saunders]

Does anyone know of a case similar or someone of a similar age to AC ? What Was their sentences ?

 

[Starfishcherub]

Doesn't surprise me. He's clearly just doing it for the spectacle. There's not a chance he's getting a reduction.

Hi Taylor, just wondered did you get a letter back in the end from AC?
