Lord Beckett continued his legal directions for a second day and is set to complete them in the morning.
On day 29 of the trial at the High Court in Glasgow, the jury will then begin to decide on the 36 charges that Iain Packer faces.
The 51-year-old denies the allegations of physical and sexual violence involving 25 women including the murder of Miss Caldwell at the remote Limefield Woods in Biggar, South Lanarkshire on April 5, 2005.
The females mainly consist of 17 sex workers and others he lived with at the time as well as a teenage girl that he allegedly raped.
The charges span between 1990 and 2016.
The trial continues.
