While the group avoided youth detention, the judge presiding over the case criticized their behavior inside the courtroom. “Many of you have found these proceedings amusing throughout the trial and yesterday and today, showing disrespect to the court,” Judge Philip Parry stated during sentencing, according to the Daily Record. “I make it very, very clear that all eight of you have behaved disgracefully, in relation to the violent disorder but also intimidation of witnesses, supply of class A drugs and street robbery.” Slater’s phone signal was last detected approximately 40km from his accommodation after he reportedly joined two men at a remote Airbnb following a music festival.
