He was convicted of murder following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow in June 1996.
A judge was wrong to conclude that parole board bosses acted “unfairly” and “unlawfully” when denying a convicted murderer’s freedom bid, a court has ruled.
The Court of Session heard how Dolan had been freed from prison on three different occasions - but had been recalled to custody for breaching his licence conditions and for taking drugs. They argued that the board failed to consider the impact on Dolan being kept in custody years after his expiration of his punishment part.
He wrote: “That is the approach which the tribunal adopted in the present case. It did not proceed upon the view that any material risk of violence justified continued detention. The Paisley Daily Express from June 21 1996 provides an account of why Dolan was convicted of murder.
