A Scots author whose book was snapped up by Vin Diesel to turn into another Braveheart attacked his wife during the “toxic breakdown” of their marriage.
Peter Ross Leckie was convicted of assaulting wife Sophie at their million-pound Edinburgh home as their relationship collapsed.
Leckie wrote a novel about Hannibal, with Hollywood star Diesel eager to play the Carthaginian general who led his elephants across the Alps to attack Rome.
