Former Tweed top cop Shane Diehm may spend less time behind bars after his lawyers today appealed the sentence handed to him in September.
Diehm was slapped with a six month sentence after being found guilty of lying to the New South Wales Police Integrity Commission, denying involvement in a drug-fuelled party weekend on the Gold Coast.
His lawyers claim he’s been unfairly made a scapegoat, in an effort to discourage other authority figures from lying to the commission.
The matter’s been adjourned until early next month.
