The documentary also covers the case of schoolgirl Caroline Glachan whose body was found in a river in 1996. According to The Scottish Sun, Chloe said: 'I did a lot of research around the legal world in Edinburgh. 'The court system there has been televised quite a lot through the BBC documentary series Murder Trial so I could see how it works, and how it feels like a bit of a club.
