A teenage drug dealer who killed a 14-year-old schoolgirl after supplying her with potentially lethal ecstasy has had his jail sentence cut by appeal judges.
Following the conviction at the High Court in Glasgow, McCairn was sentenced to seven years' detention.Lawyers acting for McCairn challenged that sentence and claimed it was excessive. Fred Mackintosh KC, for McCairn, told Lord Woolman, sitting with Lord Matthews, that the sentencing judge had made mistakes in assessing the culpability of the teenager.
The KC called for the original sentence to be quashed and replaced with a shorter period of detention.Lord Woolman said the "terrible tragedy" of Cerys' death underscored the dangers posed by Class A drugs.
