Archer to appeal against his conviction, seeks cut in jail term
The multi-millionaire novelist, who was found guilty at the Old Bailey on July 19 last year of charges relating to his successful 1987 libel case against the Daily Star, is seeking permission to appeal against his conviction on the basis that it was unsafe.
Archer is also urging Lord Justice Rose sitting with Mr Justice Colman and Mr Justice Stanley Burnton to cut his sentence.
