Twitter to report Gilroy sentence

THE sentencing of David Gilroy, who murdered Edinburgh bookkeeper Suzanne Pilley, will be reported via Twitter after the legal chiefs gave their approval.

The Scottish Court Service has already given permission for TV cameras to film the proceedings, which will go out on a slight delay. Twitter use has been allowed before in a Scottish court, but it will be the first time a sentencing at the High Court in Scotland has been filmed.
