A woman who claims she was "retraumatised" by her rapist's lawyer has welcomed moves to make it easier for survivors of sexual assault to obtain the transcripts of court proceedings.
Following the trial in June 2022, Ms Wilson lodged a formal complaint against McFarlane's defence lawyer, Lorenzo Alonzi, with the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission .But when the SLCC asked Ellie to provide evidence of his remarks, she was left having to raise £3,000 for the cost of obtaining the official transcript of the trial. She has since called for the fees to be waived.
She told the Record: "It's really significant, but it's long overdue. We should never have been asked to pay these really significant sums of money. She added: "People have been completely appalled that these things are being said in court and it comes back to the fact there's so much secrecy. It's really hard for people to know what it's like and being able to see in black and white, on paper, how bad it is."Top news stories today The SLCC said: "We can’t disclose any information on specific complaints, this includes confirming or denying whether a complaint exists.
