Day two of the trial centres on evidence from Caroline's best friend, who reveals concerns about one of the three accused. There's also evidence from a witness - potentially someone who heard the attack on Caroline being carried out. And the 999 call, made by the person who found Caroline's body in the River Leven, is played to the court. There are questions about why Caroline's shoes are placed neatly on the riverbank. And theories about whether this might point to the motive behind her murder. But the day begins with evidence from a pathologist, who can explain the range of injuries Caroline sustained, and what they might reveal about the person responsible. Tommy Ross KC, joins journalist Jane MacSorley to discuss the events in court and provide an insight into the trial process.
