David eastman murder conviction shoudl be quashed hearing told
The court heard how the former president of Glasgow University, Paul Kenny, was “truly sickened” by Eastman’s conviction and was “shocked” that the judge hadn’t overt솔레어 카지노urned it.

Eastman had also appealed the verdict to the high court.
He added: “I’m absolutely pleased that Justice for my father has now been upheld by an independent inquiry and I’m very pleased the judge has also refused his application to quash the conviction as well because it is really hard to believ
