Four gangsters who carried out a brutal cold blooded hit on a man in a city street are appealing their convictions for murder. Lawyers for Morton Eadie,56, his son Darren,31, Ross Fisher,30, and John Kennedy,42, have gone to the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh to overturn their guilty verdicts.
The quartet received minimum jail terms totalling 94 years earlier this year for shooting Kenny Reilly in Maryhill, Glasgow, in 2018. But lawyers for the men, who come from Glasgow, believe their clients have suffered a miscarriage of justice and have lodged appeals against their convictions and sentences.
On Wednesday, a court official said that appeal judges were currently considering the grounds of the appeal that have been lodged. The judges are expected to give their decision on whether the appeals should proceed sometime in the near future.
