Inside Murder Trial

Did the accused really take a walk with Archie in the middle of the night? And did they really come back to the house, and start arguing? Well - this episode hears evidence form a witness who says she SAW them through her window. The only problem - they never mentioned seeing anything at the time. We also hear evidence from another witness who spent time talking to young Archie Wilson. And - we hear a claim that Caroline was in fear of George Graham - another man once accused of her murder. Presented by: Jane MacSorley and Tommy Ross KC Written and Produced by: Darrell Brown Production Manager: Eilidh Hart Executive Producer: Iain Scollay Commissioning Editor: Heather Kane-DarlingA Firecrest Films Production for BBC Sounds

Witnesses can come in all shapes and sizes. But in a murder trial it's rare to hear evidence from the voice of a five-year-old. In this episode, we break down the events from a dramatic day-5 in court, as the jury is told that a five year old boy may have witnesses the murder, and revealed who was responsible. But is he telling the truth? The court also hears from witnesses who may have seen, or heard, the suspects leaving an address and heading towards the scene of the murder. But will their evidence prove to be consistent, or pose more questions than it answers? Tommy Ross KC and journalist Jane MacSorley listen to the evidence, and provide the context behind the questions.Presented by: Jane MacSorley and Tommy Ross KC Written and Produced by: Darrell Brown Production Manager: Eilidh Hart Executive Producer: Iain Scollay Commissioning Editor: Heather Kane-DarlingA Firecrest Films Production for BBC Sounds

The police know that Caroline Glachan made her way to the River Leven on the night she was killed. So todays evidence, in which two people claim to have been with her on that walk, could complete the picture and reveal what exactly happened. But when the witnesses offer very different versions of events, will that throw doubt into the mind of the jury? Tommy Ross KC breaks down the events as he and journalist Jane MacSorley listen to the evidence and guide listeners through every twist and turn.Presented by: Jane MacSorley and Tommy Ross KC Written and Produced by: Darrell Brown Production Manager: Eilidh Hart Executive Producer: Iain Scollay Commissioning Editor: Heather Kane-DarlingA Firecrest Films Production for BBC Sounds

When Caroline Glachan was found murder in August 1996, the police tried to piece together her last movements, working out where she was, and who she was with. In todays' evidence, two witnesses take the stand to explain that they saw Caroline on that night. One, a friend, also makes some alarming claims about one of the accused, while another witness reveals a startling sighting, and the potential that Caroline was being followed. Once again, Tommy Ross KC joins journalist Jane MacSorley to break down the days events in court and explain what's really going on.Presented by: Jane MacSorley and Tommy Ross KC Written and Produced by: Darrell Brown Production Manager: Eilidh Hart Executive Producer: Iain Scollay Commissioning Editor: Heather Kane-DarlingA Firecrest Films Production for BBC Sounds

Day two of the trial centres on evidence from Caroline's best friend, who reveals concerns about one of the three accused. There's also evidence from a witness - potentially someone who heard the attack on Caroline being carried out. And the 999 call, made by the person who found Caroline's body in the River Leven, is played to the court. There are questions about why Caroline's shoes are placed neatly on the riverbank. And theories about whether this might point to the motive behind her murder. But the day begins with evidence from a pathologist, who can explain the range of injuries Caroline sustained, and what they might reveal about the person responsible. Tommy Ross KC, joins journalist Jane MacSorley to discuss the events in court and provide an insight into the trial process.Presented by: Jane MacSorley and Tommy Ross KC Written and Produced by: Darrell Brown Production Manager: Eilidh Hart Executive Producer: Iain Scollay Commissioning Editor: Heather Kane-DarlingA Firecrest Films Production for BBC Sounds
