A GREENOCK court trial witness has been charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Paula Middleton, 31, is said to have repeatedly put her ear to the door of a courtroom during the course of the case being heard.

Prosecutors say she also repeatedly looked through the glass panelled door of the court as proceedings were under way.

Middleton, of Brisbane Street, is accused of committing the alleged offence on November 6 in 2019.

A plea of not guilty has been tendered on her behalf by lawyer Edel McGinty, with a trial now due to take place on April 21.
