In a scathing speech lasting about an hour, Sheriff John Cook described the couple’s behaviour towards their neighbours over three years as ‘utterly appalling’. Jacqueline Aston and her husband David tried to wreck neighbour's teaching career by claiming she neglected her children and used drugs Sheriff Cook said: ‘I have to give very careful consideration if that is proportionate. It is an extensive course of conduct and it may well be entirely proportionate so maybe your clients should consider their future there.’
‘Mr Aston, your participation was less but I also have to consider whether any sentence other than a custodial sentence is appropriate.’ The court heard former chartered accountant Mr Aston had written a book that featured a character who develops magical powers and uses them to wreak revenge on the local community.
