I was sitting with the pool cameras allowed in the main
body of the court to film the sentencing hearing.
I could see Peter Murrell handcuffed by his right hand to
a prison officer as he arrived in court, wearing a dark suit and navy tie.
The metal cuffs could be heard jangling as he walked to
the dock. They were unlocked before he sat down.
When the hearing began he looked straight ahead,
blinking, as his defence lawyer told the court that Murrell expected no
sympathy.
As well as the cameras in court there was also a sketch
artist, another rarity in Scottish courts.
She was studying Murrell as he sat in the dock and took
some notes before leaving the court room to start her sketch.
As he was sentenced, Murrell looked straight ahead
listening to the judge. He showed no emotion as he was told he would serve five
years and three months in jail.
He was then again cuffed by his right hand and led out of
court to prison.
