Defence solicitor Stephen Biggam told the court Graham’s brother had died the night before and that was why she was not present.

Sheriff Craig Harris deferred sentence until June 23 for a structure deferred sentence report.

Last year the court heard Graham, 42 Hawley Road, Falkirk, was not present at court because she had just started rehab.
