When Caroline Muirhead turned informant against her fiancé, she expected the protection of the law. Instead, she was met with what critics call 'shocking stupidity and neglect.' We dive into the documentary Should I Marry a Murderer? to analyze how Police Scotland allegedly abandoned their star witness. We discuss the psychological spiral that followed—including Caroline’s descent into drug use and her controversial decision to move back in with the killer while acting as a secret operative. It’s a somber look at the high price of doing the right thing in a broken justice system.
