Lance Shepherdson was convicted in November 1999 of being knowingly concerned in the fraudulent evasion of the prohibition on the importation of Class B drugs. Mr Shepherdson received a sentence of 11 years’ imprisonment.
The CCRC received an application for review of Mr Shepherdson’s sentence in February 2002.

The Court of Appeal later reduced the sentence.
