The 51-year-old denies strangling Ms Caldwell and dumping her body in woods in South Lanarkshire in April 2005.The prosecution has withdrawn 10 charges against Mr Packer. He was formally acquitted of those allegations after the Crown closed its case. On Tuesday, the 18th day of the trial, Mr Packer arrived at the High Court in Glasgow using a walking stick and wearing a zipper jacket, a T-shirt and navy trousers.
Asked how he felt about not stopping immediately, Mr Packer said he felt "a bit ashamed" and that he should have "stopped straight away". Jurors heard he would drive to an area known as "the drag" to pick up sex workers, as well as Glasgow Green, using his work van at different times of the day.Earlier in the trial, the court heard how Mr Packer approached BBC journalist Sam Poling in 2018 and agreed to be interviewed about Ms Caldwell.
