ONE of two men jailed for life for killing Derby teenager Kadeem Blackwood has had his murder conviction quashed.
In an appeal hearing today three judges ruled that Michael-Paul Hamblett-Sewell's case would go to a re-trial.
Hamblett-Sewell and co-defendant Callum Campbell were convicted of Kadeem's murder following a trial at Nottingham Crown Court in October 2009.
The 15-year-old was shot in the chest in October 2008 in Caxton Park, Sunny Hill.
Campbell, then 20, of Osmaston Park Road, Allenton, who shot Kadeem with a sawn-off shotgun, was jailed for life and ordered to serve a minimum of 21 years. Hamblett-Sewell, of Marlborough Road, Allenton, was found guilty of ordering the shooting and was jailed for a minimum of 23 years.
Hamblett-Sewell's conviction was quashed in an appeal hearing at Nottingham Crown Court this afternoon.
