SF says he was a lawyer but his licence or whatever it's called, has lapsed and that's why he's not registered at the moment.
Where is the evidence for Scott Forbes ever being a lawyer - other than an alleged trainee ?
Russell Findlay wrote an article in 2013 - published in the Daily Record - where it stated,
‘Earlier this month, his appeal against the length of his sentence was rejected and three years ago his appeal against conviction was thrown out.
He has now hired lawyer Graham Mann, who is probing the reconstruction with the dogs and has spoken to Kelly
it goes on,
‘Mann said: "
I have been instructed in respect of all ongoing appeal procedures but I am not able to comment at this stage."APPEAL 1Mitchell failed to overturn his murder conviction three years ago.
His appeal was heard by Scotland's top judge - the lord Justice General Lord hamilton - and lords Osborne and Kingarth.
Lord Hamilton said there was "sufficient evidence in law" for a guilty verdict but he condemned the way the police interviewed 15-year-old Mitchell.
He added: "
At times, the nature of the questioning was such that the questioner did not seem to be seriously interested in a response but rather endeavouring to break him down into giving some hoped-for confession by hostile interrogation."APPEAL 2The killer failed to have his minimum 20-year jail term reduced earlier this month.
His lawyers challenged the length of his sentence on the grounds that he was a child at the time of the crime.
But the appeal court in Edinburgh ruled that the 20-year sentence should stand. Outside the court, Mitchell's mother Corinne said: "The fight goes on."
Bankrupt shame of Mitchell's lawyerMitchell's lawyer Gillian Law's highflying career has stalled under a mountain of debt. she was made a partner in Edinburgh firm Beaumont & Co after impressing boss Nigel Beaumont.
But Law has since been declared bankrupt over undisclosed debts owed to the taxman. she was sequestrated at the city's sheriff court - the same place where she defends criminal clients.
As a bankrupt, law's practising certificate was automatically suspended by the law society of scotland. After lodging an appeal, she has been allowed to return to work but with restrictions. she can no longer be a partner in the firm and is only allowed to work as an assistant. She is also banned from handling clients' cash.Despite her debt woes, Law still drives a VW Beetle convertible with private registration. she lives with advocate Michael Anderson in a £400,000 townhouse beside Duddingston Golf club in the capital.
The Law Society said: "She has had her practising certificate restricted and can only work as an assistant."
