Luke Mitchell, who was convicted of murdering schoolgirl Jodi Jones, will learn on Friday whether his appeal against conviction has been successful.
For the second time in two weeks, BBC cameras will be given access to the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh to film proceedings.
Video of the hearing will be published online and excerpts will be broadcast on TV and radio. BBC Scotland will also make the footage available to other broadcasters and media outlets.
The latest TV coverage in the Court of Criminal Appeal follows filming of Nat Fraser's unsuccessful hearing last Tuesday which has been viewed online more than 14,000 times.
Mitchell was found guilty of murdering Jodi Jones, from Dalkeith, Midlothian, in June 2003. His appeal was heard in February.
Atholl Duncan, head of BBC Scotland's news and current affairs department, said: "We have allowed a significant number of people to see and hear the judgment as if they were in court.
"We believe this is an important development for BBC Scotland journalism and for the Scottish courts."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
