It's day one of a murder trial at Glasgow high Court. Three people stand accused of the 1996 murder of Caroline Glachan, and as the trial begins, a jury starts to learn some of the facts about the case. First to give evidence is Caroline's mother Margaret, who casts her mind back to the last time she saw her daughter, and the tragic circumstances which led her to find out she had been killed. Also taking the stand - a police diver who recovered Caroline's body from the River Leven, and a witness who reveals that the murder was the only topic of conversation in the area in the days afterwards. Defending Advocate Tommy Ross KC joins journalist Jane MacSorley as they listen to the evidence and break down the tactics as this extraordinary trial gets under way.
