Luke Mitchell, who was convicted of murdering schoolgirl Jodi Jones, will learn on Friday whether his appeal against conviction has been successful.

For the second time in two weeks, BBC cameras will be given access to the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh to film proceedings.

Video of the hearing will be published online and excerpts will be broadcast on TV and radio. BBC Scotland will also make the footage available to other broadcasters and media outlets.

The latest TV coverage in the Court of Criminal Appeal follows filming of Nat Fraser's unsuccessful hearing last Tuesday which has been viewed online more than 14,000 times.

Mitchell was found guilty of murdering Jodi Jones, from Dalkeith, Midlothian, in June 2003. His appeal was heard in February.

Atholl Duncan, head of BBC Scotland's news and current affairs department, said: "We have allowed a significant number of people to see and hear the judgment as if they were in court.

"We believe this is an important development for BBC Scotland journalism and for the Scottish courts."
