Victims, Witnesses, and Justice Reform (Scotland) Bill: Stage 2
My assessment is that we cannot abolish not proven in isolation without impacting the balance of fairness in our system. Stand-alone reform would risk miscarriages of justice; equally, setting too high a threshold for conviction would mean that we fail to hold perpetrators to account. To maintain the integrity of our criminal justice system and confidence in that system, the most prudent approach is a model with two verdicts, 15 jurors and a two-thirds majority requirement for a conviction.
Thank you, convener. I look forward to working with the committee over the coming several weeks as we navigate our way through to stage 2.
