Meanwhile it also emerged that Campbell received more than £14,000 in legal aid - more than 13 times the amount of £1,300 that prosecutors spent on the case.

Jeeeez, the prosecution only spent 1300£

Why does it give a running time of 10:20 on the live stream still?

It shows the current time. Refresh and it will show the time it is when refreshed.

I know what you mean but they didn't need to spend big, the CCTV and DNA evidence had him bang to rights.

Sentence due this morning in the case of Aaron Campbell, who raped and murdered 6-year-old Alesha MacPhail on Bute last summer. Hearing will be livestreamed. Thought to be the 1st time this has been allowed for a sentencing in a criminal court in UK.

Yup, £13k really is ALOT!

 

[Sleuthdolf]

It already has been honestly, seeing Alesha’s family members. It’s really strange. But yeah I think it will be even weirder seeing Aaron. It’s kind of like seeing a character from a movie or TV show as odd as that sounds.



Yeah, I’ve seen her multiple times. She’s in one of the witness rooms with Rab. I think just to keep them away from all the commotion.



Thank you!

Any ETA on when proceedings start? I have to pop to the doctors in 30 minutes. Hoping not to miss anything.

This can't include labour or expert witness costs. I had a court case in London (civil, not criminal) that settled before trial and my costs were still £12,000+.

 

[pinkje]

That can’t be right. £1.300 would hardly cover one week’s wages of the Prosecutor and there was court time of 2 weeks!

Judge said murder was one of the 'most evil crimes court has heard'

Lord Matthews is the judge who will be sentencing Aaron Campbell today.

He previously said of the murder: “I can’t think of a case in recent times that has attracted such revulsion.”

He added that Campbell had committed some of the “wickedest, most evil crimes this court has ever heard”.

Family are going in.

 

[Mrs Marple]

I feel on tenterhooks, can't imagine what the family are feeling.

 

[gc105]

Thank you for the updates TaylorCallum!

I hope the judge makes an example of this monster, he’s a danger to the public and his sentence should reflect that. His age should not be an influencing factor in his sentence length - he’s an adult and knows right from wrong.

No sentence he gets will be long enough in my eyes though.

I feel sick waiting :-( god knows how her family are all feeling right now.

I would think that the Live Stream will only show the judge. Might be wrong.

I think you're right

Aaron Campbell, the teenager who abducted, raped and murdered six-year-old Alesha MacPhail, will be sentenced today in Glasgow. Barely a spare seat in the court room.

It says on the live stream that it will begin at point of sentencing - so I assume will show the judge and nothing more.
