All four were found guilty of killing Reilly in a brutal shooting
Lawyers for Morton Eadie, 56, his son Darren, 31, Ross Fisher, 30, and John Kennedy, 42, have gone to the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh to overturn their guilty verdicts.
The judges are expected to give their decision on whether the appeals should proceed sometime in the near future.At the end of their trials in February 2022, Kennedy, the shooter, was acquitted of murdering a second man, Jamie Campbell, who was gunned down in a street in Drumchapel in 2006, on a not proven verdict.
Lord Beckett pointed out that six shots were fired from an automatic pistol during the murder of Kenny Reilly"from some distance" as the innocent driver sought to reverse when her passenger, the target of the attack, realised what was happening.The judge said:"While the attack was plainly directed at Kenneth Reilly, it showed gross indifference to the safety of the driver and the public.
All four were found guilty of murdering Mr Reilly at Bilsland Drive, in Glasgow, at the junction with Maryhill Road on April 16 in 2018 by repeatedly discharging a firearm at him and shooting him in the head, leaving him so severely injured that he died two days later at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Both Fisher and Kennedy bowed their heads as the verdicts were returned.
