Mail Opinion says the Crown Office should have pressed the pause button on this courtroom drama long ago.
Caroline Muirhead’s astonishing Sunday Mail interview reads like the script of a Holywood movie and could well become one.
The nine-month ordeal which followed would have been enough to test the resilience of a trained undercover officer, and has taken a brutal toll on her physical and mental health. On hearing the news her testimony could be broadcast Caroline suffered a breakdown and fled on the day the trial was to begin.
Millions tuned in to watch the Lockerbie bomber’s appeal against his conviction in 2002, and the retrial of Nat Fraser for the murder of his wife Arlene drew a huge audience on Channel 4 in 2012. The Crown Office will argue Caroline was given a choice on whether to appear in any documentary and that the cameras were ultimately pulled.
