The looming trial of eight men accused of engaging in a mass brawl at HMP Perth has been moved to Falkirk so all eight of them can be tried at the same time.
Last month fiscal depute Michael Sweeney told Perth Sheriff Court he was having to make enquiries to see if the group could all stand trial simultaneously.
Mr Sweeney said as he understood the situation at the time only a maximum of seven defendants were allowed in the same room in Perth and he was looking into whether the group could be split in two and tried in different courtrooms.
