A prison officer has lost a legal challenge against a conviction for assaulting an inmate in a jail cell.
Andrew Dickson, 46, was found guilty of the attack on Lee Dobson at Dumfries prison and was fined £750 by a sheriff.
Dickson's lawyers argued that Dobson should not have been considered a "credible and reliable" witness at his trial over the assault.
However, appeal court judges ruled the sheriff was entitled to do so and decided the conviction could stand.
Dickson had denied assaulting the prisoner at Dumfries jail on 6 November, 2007, during his earlier trial.
