Ex-heroin user says she was forced to be witness
Claire Lizanec agreed she wrote a letter saying that she had no choice but to be a witness.
Ms Lizanec, 28, told the High Court in Edinburgh: "The police said I would get charged, I was told I'd get at least two years."

She was giving evidence at the trial of Martin Black, 33, and Francis Doris, 40, who deny conspiring to murder Kevin Martin between June 1 and July 6 in 2008 in Edinburgh.
Black's defence counsel, Neil Murray QC, asked her about a note in which she had written about receiving "a nice bit of cash" to go on a holiday. She said she posed for "girlie pictures" at a safe house for about 1,000.
The trial continues.
