    SCOTT FINNIE'S SHOCKING CRIME IN EDINBURGH AND EVANTON: FATHER-TO-BE SENTENCED FOR CHILD SEVERE INJURY

    A man named Scott Finnie, who was expecting a child with his partner, was sentenced to six months in prison after being found guilty of a brutal assault on a two-year-old child nearly five years ago. The incident took place in the small town of Evanton, located in Easter Ross, and the repercussions of this crime have echoed through the local community and beyond.

    Finnie appeared before Inverness Sheriff Court to receive his sentence, but the proceedings were marked by his emotional distress. Reports indicate that he initially experienced a panic attack, which caused him to leave the court premises in a taxi while his pregnant partner was present. This behavior underscored his state of anxiety and remorse as he faced the serious charges against him.

    Throughout the legal process, Finnie, who was described as an Inverness prisoner, had previously been remanded in custody for a period of 143 days. This was due to his failure to attend a prior court hearing, although he was later released on bail. The case against him was built on substantial evidence, and earlier this year, a jury convicted him of the severe assault that occurred on January 8, 2017, at a property in Evanton.

    Following the conviction, Sheriff Sara Matheson decided to defer sentencing to allow for a comprehensive background report and an assessment for a restriction of liberty order. Both assessments were completed successfully, providing the court with a clearer understanding of Finnie’s circumstances.

    On the day of sentencing, Finnie’s solicitor, George Henry, explained to the court that his client was “anxious and upset” when he arrived at the court in a taxi. According to Mr. Henry, Finnie left the court after his partner exited the vehicle, and attempts to contact him afterward were unsuccessful. A warrant was issued for Finnie’s arrest due to his absence, but before the warrant could be executed, Finnie returned to court to learn his fate.

    During the hearing, Mr. Henry emphasized that Finnie had “suffered a panic attack” and argued that an alternative to imprisonment would be appropriate given the circumstances. He pointed out that the offense took place five years ago, and Finnie’s current property was suitable for a restriction of liberty order. Additionally, Finnie was employed in the forestry industry in Aberdeenshire and had already spent the equivalent of ten months in remand custody.

    Despite these mitigating factors, Sheriff Sara Matheson made it clear that the gravity of the crime warranted a custodial sentence. She stated, “There is no other appropriate sentence than imprisonment,” and sentenced Finnie to six months behind bars. The court’s decision underscores the seriousness with which the justice system treats crimes involving the severe injury of young children, especially when committed by individuals with prior remand time and ongoing personal circumstances such as Finnie’s.

    This case has drawn significant attention in the local communities of Edinburgh and Evanton, highlighting the ongoing concerns about child safety and the importance of accountability for such serious offenses.
