Mum who murdered five-year-old son Logan Mwangi loses bid to overturn conviction
That evidence, which was not heard before the jury, was ruled inadmissible by the trial judge.
But three High Court judges said the initial ruling by Mrs Justice Jefford was "impeccable", and threw out Williamson's bid. The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Burnett of Maldon, said the prosecution case against Williamson was that of "joint enterprise" along with Cole and Mulligan, who were also both jailed for life.A lawyer for Angharad Williamson argued jurors should have been told about John Cole violent and racist past. The High Court disagreed
The judge said because Cole's alleged racists beliefs, criminal convictions and history of violence were all 15 years old, the trial judge was within her rights to rule evidence of them as inadmissible. "It follows that despite the advocacy of Mr Rouch," he said, "this renewed application for leave to appeal against conviction must be dismissed."
