A man jailed for 10 years for a murder bid on an East Lothian street has had his sentence referred to the High Court on appeal.
Dillin Armstrong and five others attacked Rhys Reynolds, 26, with knives, a metal pole and a rock in Musselburgh on Hogmanay 2018.
On Friday, the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission confirmed it is challenging Armstrong s sentence.
The other five have had their sentences reduced since the trial in August 2019.
Armstrong was convicted of the attempted murder of Mr Reynolds along with three others at the High Court in Edinburgh.
