World's End prosecutor 'outsmarted'
THE brother of one of the World's End murder victims has claimed prosecutor Alan Mackay was "outsmarted" during the collapsed trial of rapist and killer Angus Sinclair.
Kevin Scott, 41, accused him of blundering by arranging a "behind the scenes" deal with Sinclair's defence team which ensured crucial witnesses could not be called to back up DNA evidence.
According to reports, he also revealed that four days into the trial Mr Mackay told the increasingly concerned family: "Don't worry it's not coming off the tracks."
However, just days later the case was thrown out by a judge who ruled there was insufficient evidence.
