Judge takes a week to consider rapist’s life sentence
A HIGH Court judge has said he wants a week to consider whether to give a notorious serial rapist a life sentence.
Judge Lord Kinclaven will decide whether Chan Wright, 40, should spend the rest of his life in prison at a hearing at the High Court in Glasgow next Wednesday.
His decision came on the second day of proceedings into whether the Jamaican immigrant, who has four rape convictions, including for an attack in Livingston in 1995, should be handed a life sentence.
