Convicted pedophile Peter Ellis was
reportedly distraught after news that the Court of Appeal had met in chambers
to consider a postponement to his appeal hearing. The Court of Appeal
confirmed that the judicial conference took place yesterday. A decision was expected
"within the next few days". The Crown Law Office, understood to be
seeking the postponement to have more time to prepare for the widened terms
of Ellis's appeal, set down for May 31, refused to comment. Ellis's mother,
Lesley Ellis, said he was "keyed up and quite upset" at what he
believed would probably result in a delayed appeal hearing. |
