At last there seems to be some light at the end of the long tunnel that William Gage and his family have endured for the past 7 plus years.
The Scottish Criminal Case Review Commission finally made their decision to refer William Gage's case to the appeal courts. See http://www.sccrc.org.uk/ViewFile.aspx?id=396 for the grounds of referral.
Wullie Gage's case has finally been referred for appeal by the Scottish Criminal Case Review Commission, today 11 June 2009.Hoping that finally the truth and justice will prevail and Wullie can be reuninted with his family. My thoughts are with Wullie and his family at this time.
