Legal Matters
Scotland
Lord Scott, a high court judge, has been appointed to lead the public inquiry into the murder of Emma Caldwell, who was killed in 2005. Iain Packer was convicted last year of her murder, 19 years after he was first identified as a suspect. The Scottish government initiated this inquiry to scrutinise the original police investigation, which faced criticism for not pursuing Packer sooner. Margaret Caldwell, Emma's mother, expressed her support for Lord Scott, stating: "I'm happy with this decision - I'm hoping things will get going now." Justice secretary Angela Constance stressed the inquiry's importance, stating it would "provide answers to the victims and survivors involved." Aamer Anwar, the family's lawyer, said.
