A petrified schoolgirl wrote a heart-rending letter to defend herself against two stalker neighbours.
Kerry Morrison, who was 16 at the time, penned the letter after she was falsely accused, along with eight others, of abusing paranoid neighbours Paul McFadyen and Laura McGlinn. The teenager, now 19, faced a torrent of wild accusations from the couple, who tried to get funding from the Scottish Legal Aid Board to pursue a civil case against innocent neighbours on Hartfield Terrace, Paisley.
Kerry’s letter was considered before SLAB decided to reject McFadyen and McGlinn’s bid for public funding – but they carried on with their own funds. The Record revealed last week how the couple’s use of CCTV cameras, trained on the outside and inside of Kerry’s home, led to a stalking conviction for McFadyen and McGlinn, both 53, at Paisley Sheriff Court.
