Puzzled how @timesscotland managed to write this - witness quotes and all - when they didn’t have a reporter sitting in court. It’s almost like they lifted @pressjournal copy without attribution or payment 🤔

Really interesting @stooshiescot podcast on the Alistair Wilson murder and the subsequent 20 year investigation. @BryanRutherford outlines the concerns the family have with Police Scotland and the Chief Constable. This podcast with @andydphilip and Bryan is well worth a listen.
The latest Stooshie podcast is out now. I hear from @BryanRutherford about why the unsolved Nairn banker murder has hit Holyrood. Why is Alistair Wilson’s family angry? What is the chief constable doing? Listen to @stooshiescot here. podbean.com/ew/pb-b6kiu-16f0…

Court reporting is a dying art but the dedicated team at the @pressjournal are keeping it alive. This is a great read about what @DTMcPhee @DannyFaeCourt @JenniGee_PJ and @joanne_warnock do (and put up with) every day

Relations between the police and the media need a reset. My piece for 1919.
