Hide AdShe had turned up for court back in January, but was supposedly in no fit state to appear in the dock in front of Sheriff Derek Livingston, who proceeded to defer sentence on her for a criminal justice social work report and a restriction of liberty order assessment.
At the time, Gordon Addison, defence solicitor, told the court: “She is present in the building but she’s not with us if you know what I mean.”
Yesterday, Mr Addison told the court Hyland had moved up from England to live in the Falkirk area because her mother was dying.
He added: “She came north for her mum, but her mum then died and she had to fend for herself.”

He placed Hyland, of no fixed abode, on a structured deferred sentence for six months with a review of the order calling on May 20.
