In July 1991, a 15-year-old is tried for murder. Barbara Glover is led into Glasgow’s High Court where her name is revealed. She’s still a child but the judge lifts reporting restrictions. When Barbara gives evidence, she tells a story of jealousy and lies that results in the headline: ‘Blood Over a Boy’.
