The trial of Iain Packer, for the brutal murder of Emma Caldwell, started in Glasgow.

There is a lot of horrendous events covered in this.

"Iain Packer, 51, denies strangling the 27-year-old in Limefield Woods near Biggar in April 2005 and concealing her body.

He also faces a further 44 charges against 27 other women, three men and a teenage boy, between 1990 and 2016."

I was watching several old murder trials on bbc player last couple of weeks.
Many of the witnesses are now deceased and the convicted died in prison a few months later.
They 'almost' got away with it.

Quite fascinating how the Procurators put their case together.

(Scottish Law, so the judges always have to inform the juries that they can reach three verdicts.
Innocent.
Not Proven, unique.
Guilty.
Not Proven has always been controversial.)

And if there are valid arguments for the death penalty, he's got to be up there.

Guilty as hell, he did have a habit of taking sex workers to the place where her body was found.

Be interesting to see what evidence they've got to prove it beyond reasonable doubt.

It reads like he is/was just one participant in a troupe of deviants.
'Adult Sex Party' raised my spicions.

I suppose if one is rubbish at sex, then it takes more to get one off, or for one to get one's partner off.
