Oh I’m good thank you! It was just very tense. I feel awful for the family. What a nightmare.

Thanks again.

Edited - just read your comment that your waiting outside. The judge will no doubt be reading through those deprived reports - or not!

Did they read out any of his mental health/criminal history?

Is the hearing finished has he been sentenced?

 

[Mrs Marple]

So Judge is retiring to consider..?

Whilst he’s having his sob story read, I’m thinking of a little girl and her broken body buried in a dark, lonely, cold grave ....I despise that wicked, wicked boy.

In relation to Campbell’s admission, McConnachie spoke of lingering comments made on Twitter in relation to his attempt to blame Toni Louise McLachlan. ‘It lays those particular comments to rest’

 

[TaylorCallum]

Mr McConnachie made reference to his age quite a lot honestly. I mean he is his defence QC so I understand but he said it quite a few times.

 

[89leanne89]

If he can do that at 16 imagine what he's be capable of when older !! Evil little brat

 

[TaylorCallum]

I reckon he was abused himself. No excuse for what happened, but it's a common pattern in abusers.

This is what I feel as well. It wasn’t stated but I feel it was implied.

Its literally all they have got. I myself don't agree about age being a factor but its understandable they are using it.

Yeah so he says - this monster will say anything tbh. I will believe it when I see someone charged and found guilty. Sorry, no compassion for this evil *advertiser censored***r

 

[Eve71]

I know. I think if it was really horrific they wouldn’t have used the words ‘less than ideal’ more depraved or words to that affect. I care little what he went through tbh.

I couldn’t care less either. There is never, ever an excuse to do what he did. Less then ideal..,.my foot...spoilt bratt more like.

 

[Mrs Marple]

Implied how? That doesn't equate to 'a less than ideal childhood'. Is this more bs to get his sentence down? Although l have read things that can't be mentioned about Rothsay.

 

[TaylorCallum]

Did they read out any of his mental health/criminal history?

They never mentioned criminal history, they said he fit quite a few of the psychopathy checklist though and that he had tendencies for sexual abuse or something along those lines.

Yeah you can imagine him using the words ‘less than ideal’ my childhood was ‘less than ideal’ I had a pretty house, with a huge garden, able to roam freely but daddy wasn’t home and mummy liked a drink - less than ideal Mister. Bore off!

 

[Mrs Marple]

@TaylorCallum have they indicated how long?

 

[Kiranerys]

This is what I feel as well. It wasn’t stated but I feel it was implied.

Possibly true but at this point I am inclined to believe that he is smart enough to say anything that could help himself even minutely,we know he liked to play the poor me card already.

 

[Ardoch]

I think the judge has a hell of a decision to make. Will he have support from the medical team to make this?

 

[Sp45westie]

Now that he has confessed I hope he has said exactly how he managed to take her from the house , he should never be allowed out he is a danger to everyone around him .. patiently waiting on the live stream and hoping the judge gives out the highest prison sentence Scotland has ever had ... fingers crossed
