“The commission is of the view, based upon our lengthy investigations, new evidence we have found and other evidence which was not before the trial court, that the applicant may have suffered a miscarriage of justice,” the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission said in a statement. The Court of Appeal will decide if an appeal is warranted.
