Kim Galbraith was a killer, there was no doubt about that. But why had she done it? Her husband Ian was slain with a bullet in the head as he slept. When the case came to court, Kim’s lawyers sought a verdict of culpable homicide. Why? Because of the years of sexual abuse Kim had had to contend with at home. But the path to justice would be a long one. Read “Scotland’s Classic Cases: Kim Changed The Law By Killing Her Husband” in this issue.
