00:02A man convicted over the murder of Ashley Dale in Liverpool has failed to overturn his
00:07conviction at the Court of Appeal.
00:10Sean Zeiss was one of four men jailed over the 2022 shooting at her home in Old Swan.
00:16James Witham forced entry to the property and shot the 28-year-old environmental health
00:20worker with a Scorpion submachine gun.
00:23The intended target was her partner, who was not there.
00:26Zeiss was given a minimum term of 42 years for encouraging the attack.
00:31His lawyers argued voice notes used at the trial were prejudicial and that this sentence
00:36was excessive.
00:38Senior judges rejected both arguments and ruled that his conviction and sentence should stand.
