A senior appeal judge has concluded that a colleague followed correct procedures when he ordered a gunman to serve at least 23 years for murdering a young dad.
Jordan Owens, 28, was ordered to serve the minimum term after being jailed for life for murdering Jamie Lee in Castlemilk in July 2017.
The judges refused the appeal and in a written judgement issued by the court on Friday, Lord Matthews explained why he and his colleagues upheld Lord Beckett’s sentence. “These were minor factors in the judge’s overall assessment, which included the highly significant features of the appellant’s arming himself with a gun, obtaining a bulletproof vest, and thereafter having the wherewithal, albeit assisted, to leave the country, and make his way ultimately to Portugal, sustaining himself in the meantime.
He subsequently fled abroad as a fugitive but was tracked down in Portugal and returned to Scotland to face justice.
