STV NewsA woman is set to go on trial accused of leaving threatening voicemails at MP Mhairi Black’s constituency office.
Kimberely White was due to stand trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
The 41-year-old is charged with behaving in a threatening or abusive manner on October 25, 2021.
Court papers state White, of Paisley, repeatedly made phone calls to Black’s former MP office.
White is further claimed to have repeatedly left voicemail messages on the constituency office’s messaging system.
White is alleged to have shouted, swore, uttered threats of violence and made derogatory remarks.
A joint motion to adjourn the trial was made by defence agent Ruaridh Hood and prosecutor Caitlin McAllister.
Mr Hood told the court that a doctor did not receive up-to-date medical information regarding his client before he compiled a psychiatric report on her.
Ms McAllister stated that the Crown’s only witness, a police officer, is on long-term sick leave.
Sheriff Tony Kelly said: “Standing the gravity of charge, I will accede to the joint motion.”
A new trial date was set for November, with a further hearing taking place in October.
