A man found guilty of firing a shotgun at a house in Glasgow has had his prison sentence increased from 40 months to 10 years

A man found guilty of firing a shotgun at a house in Glasgow has had his prison sentence increased from 40 months to 10 years following a successful appeal by the Crown. David Docherty, 35, was initially given the 40-month sentence in April 2024 after a trial at the High Court in Glasgow. The Lord Advocate asked the court to impose a longer custodial term due to the serious nature of the offenses. The appeal court, chaired by Lord Justice Clerk Lady Dorrian, upheld the Crown's appeal, quashing the original sentence and replacing it with a 10-year custodial term.
