Emma Caldwell murder: Family renew calls for non Scottish judge

Advertisements

Aamer Anwar, the Caldwell family’s lawyer, said the “vast majority” of High Court judges in Scotland had connections to the Crown Office and that could impede their impartiality.

He said: “Police officers and Crown Office lawyers gave Packer the green light [to commit crimes].

“The whole point of a public inquiry is the glare of public scrutiny.

“For 19 years Iain Packer was able to avoid justice.”

“For 19 years we know the family were being lied to, while someone in the Crown Office in a senior position closed the case, marked it protected and told the family for multiple years that they were going after the men who killed Emma Caldwell.”

Mr Anwar added that a number of documents that could have been important in the murder investigation may have been lost or destroyed.
