Horatio Caine Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Came through Blackburn Cross this morning. Was held up (as was all the traffic) for about 7 minutes while a convoy from Addiewell prison came through, heading for the M8 Glasgow bound. Six police motorcycles, and four police cars escorting a very large prison transport vehicle. There's no press coverage of any high security trial going on but whoever is being transported must be seen as a high risk prisoner. Anybody any info on this?

Riddley Walker Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 One of the biggest trials in Scottish history. All 6 are being held in Addiewell for the duration of the trial. Huge escort back and forth to Edinburgh High Court every day due to their connections. It will be a big story when the trial ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess then that the lack of reporting in last few weeks means some sensitivity around witnesses etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that folk can't be watched 24 hours a day when not in Jail but this is quite disturbing. Edited May 14, 2019 by steve123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 On the Glasgow case of course no one who arranged the assaults has been identified. And I wonder it in the Edinburgh case being caught was always expected. Car was left untouched for example. We can't discuss possible previous events as it could influence a trial. Who knows who was being talking about earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor FinnBarr Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Over the last few months I've been held up a few times on the way in to my backshift by plod bikes blocking off the traffic lights between Blackburn and Redmill as they take these wasters home to Addiewell. They must have been early yesterday as I had 8 bikes and a fancy car up my arse just before Newhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
His name is Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 A video of the judge psssing sentence on these guys was on social media. He made reference to one of the guys having previous convictions for 4 attempted murders and has now been sentenced for another 2. How was some one like that still walking the streets.

You only get released after half your sentence if you're sentenced to under 45 months. If it's over that you'll be doing the full whack, even if there is a chance you'll be moved to Castle Huntly at some point near the end where you can get days and weekends at home to see how you're reintegrating into the community, under strict conditions. This crew will be doing their full sentences pretty much, no doubt. They're lucky the top guys only got 20s, a lot of people were expecting it to be closer to 30 year sentences.
