THE former editor of the newspaper that sparked a fresh probe into Emma Caldwell's killer lain Packer has said she was "failed" by the justice system.
Jim Wilson headed our sister paper the Sunday Mail when it branded Packer "the forgotten suspect" in 2015 and he claimed the authorities "concealed" Packer and left him "free to commit more crimes".
Seven weeks after the investigation, then lord advocate Frank Mulholland ordered the case be reopened.
Speaking after Packer was brought to justice this week, Wilson accused Police Scotland of an "unlawful" probe into the newspaper's sources in the aftermath of the story, rather than focusing on the killer.
The Investigatory Powers Tribunal ruled in 2022 that Police Scotland breached Wilson's rights when it sought to identify the Sunday Mail's sources for the story.
