Child killer Aaron Campbell's QC grateful to trial judge
Campbell denied the crime throughout his nine-day trial at the High Court in Glasgow and told the jury he had never met the child.
"All matters of fact which could reasonably be agreed were agreed and the issues were well focussed and laid before the jury. The QC said:"I think one good thing from a judge speaking out about matters such as that is that it perhaps helps to educate the public in the way that the system works because, I am sure, there are plenty of people who would take the view that it is the solicitor or the advocate who decides what the defence is going to be and makes it up for the accused and, of course, that could not be further from the truth."At the time I was very grateful to him.
