Self-Stabbing to Frame Victim Backfires | Glasgow News

Thomas Irvine, 51, stabbed a man then turned the knife on himself in a desperate bid to frame the victim — but CCTV caught it all. Admitting to causing severe injury and trying to manipulate justice, he later lied to cops, claiming the victim attacked him. The High Court in Glasgow sentenced him to five years and four months, noting his theatrics wasted police and hospital resources. Had he not pleaded guilty, he’d have faced eight years. A cautionary tale: don’t try to spin your crimes — the system sees through it. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
