The husband of the former first minister of Scotland has been arrested by police.
The former party chief executive was previously arrested on April 5, 2023 amid what officers have called"Operation Branchform".
Roddy Dunlop KC, the dean of the Faculty of Advocates, put out a warning on social media about the law when Murrell was previously arrested. “Accordingly, commenting on ongoing criminal proceedings requires extreme caution and, to be frank, is best avoided – not only to avoid contempt but also because you do not want to risk imperilling the trial.”. Does the tweet or post pose such a serious risk to the court proceedings? Would a member of the jury read it and prejudge the outcome?
The Crown Office & Procurator Fiscal Service has previously explained the contempt of court act, which it said is in place because “court is the only appropriate public forum for discussion of matters of evidence or fact in active cases”.
