A motorist who tried to murder a pedestrian by driving over him and allowing his vehicle to drag his stricken victim around a car park has been jailed.
Lee Scales ,28, drove a Red Ford Fiesta at Spencer Brodie outside the Westside Plaza Shopping Centre in Wester Hailes, Edinburgh, on April 14 2022.
Judge Lord Sandison saw CCTV footage of Mr Brodie being forced onto the bonnet of the motor as Scales continued to drive.

The video showed Mr Brodie trying to cling on moments after Scales struck him at an estimated speed of 13 miles per hour.
Lord Sandison saw Mr Brodie fall off the bonnet and saw the moment the Fiesta’s front wheels drive over the victim’s body.
The video then showed the car’s rear wheels drive over Mr Brodie’s body as he lay on the ground in agony.
On Wednesday September 21, Lord Sandison told Scales he needed to go to prison.
