Police investigate youtube court footage
Headline News
Film footage apparently showing a man's teenage killers appearing in court has been posted on YouTube.
Earlier this month, Glasgow's High Court heard that three of the youths had boasted about the killing of William Smith, 21, in a clip that was reportedly posted on the video-sharing website.
Now, what appears to be more film of the youths taken during a hearing at the High Court, has also surfaced on the website.
The clip, called "Gorbals" which runs for two minutes and 44 seconds, appears to show the teenagers from behind, sitting in the dock with a judge working in the background.
They are made to stand up just before the video ends.
It has been posted by a webuser called "chrismccann1888", and has already had more than 120 views.
Mr Smith was attacked with wooden sticks and punched and kicked in Glasgow's Gorbals area on December 29 last year. He died several days later in the city's Southern General Hospital.
Jason McFadden, 19, George O'Connor, 18, Iain Stevenson, 19 and Alexander Harvey, 18, admitted the culpable homicide of William Smith, 21. They were jailed for eight years.
Whoever shot the film faces a potential contempt of court charge, for which the maximum sentence is two years in jail and an unlimited fine.
