A MAN accused of sending threatening messages to Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and of abducting a sheriff is to stand trial in the New Year.
William Curtis, and another man with whom he is accused of the incident involving the sheriff, both previously said they do not want legal representation.
The 69-year-old told the court he would “always be legally advised” when asked by Lord Weir if he had appointed a solicitor, who said he would take that as he had not.
