I very much personally understand the dismay at low conviction rates for sexual offences. But even assuming that gerrymandering verdicts to increase convictions is appropriate, it’s based on a false premise. If the standard of proof isn’t met, acquittal must follow. #notproven
What #NotProven means; Nothing to do with evidence, believability, or the survivor Everything to do with; common misconceptions of rape, victim blaming and the impact on the rapist, not the consequence of the survivor #EndNotProven

Tulsi Gabbard's presidential campaign sent out an email on her impeachment "present" vote. "After doing my due diligence in reviewing the 658-page impeachment report, I came to the conclusion that I could not in good conscience vote either yes or no."
I know tons of people that play fortnite like crazy and they're about as aggressive as a goldfish 😂 #NoLie #NotProven #WheresTheFactsFam
It’s proven that VIOLENT games like Fortnite increase aggressive behaviour and a lack of empathy in players. Will you let your kids continue to play? #9Today
Off-mic discussion during Episode#5 recording about Scots law following student's question in @mmu_law courtroom got me thinking about covering #NotProven verdict in next podcast episode: theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/o… Recording on Thursday.
6 years ago today. 2 high courts, 3 CPS, 2 years in the making of a “open/shut case” and a #NotProven verdict. What a waste of fucking time and - let’s face it - your money. #EndNotProven #TheShamingOfSurvivors
Today the Scottish Government was able to progress its proposed changes to our legal system. Despite a rebellion within its ranks. The abolition of #NotProven verdict and changes to jury sizes and majority are undoubtedly controversial. I shared some initial thoughts 👇 ⚖️
Another clip this time on Lunchtime Live with @mhairistuart1 on Radio Scotland re the Criminal Reform Bill today. This time talking about abolishing Not Proven. #NotProven
The #NotProven verdict has absolutely no place in rape cases. This has to stop.
7 years ago. Raped by my best friends 52 yo partner whilst I slept inebriated and unconscious. 2 years of crushing self destruction/suicidal behaviour/rebuilding a life - to then stand in a court room to be told I wasn’t worth believing, receiving the #NotProven verdict. 1/2
#quiz excellent, convinced me @gallantfive is innocent. Highlights use of Jury on complex case. 15 yrs ago i was on jury for complex #rape i voted guilty. But verdict #notproven. 2 yrs on same man pled guilty on almost identical case. Jury i was on did not understand evidence
Our L6 Criminology pupils enjoyed a day in court watching sheriff court solemn and summary trials. Thanks to Sheriffs Miller and McCrossan and all at @SCTScourtstribs Aberdeen. #NotProven #NotGuilty
What #NotProven means; The survivor has forced responsibility over who raped them The rapist receives an acquittal The outcome has a 1 3rd vs 2 3rd chance of going the rapists way The jury can lean on a verdict that gives an easy out That rape doesn’t exist #EndNotProven

Watching @KerryDaynes The Victorian Murder Files and the first case is #MadeleineSmith who I study in my thesis! Did her looks get her off the hook? #NotProven
Hannah Stakes talking about the jury’s decision to pass a #NotProven verdict at the end of the trial of the man she says raped her (SCOTLAND). “I knew it existed. But in my case there was a lot of evidence. I didn’t think it would happen to me.” thenational.scot/news/17539647.…
A paper comparison (theory) … based on different test cycles years apart. No testing done using same test conditions. #halffacts #notproven
Efficiency gains: A 2019 Chevy Suburban gets better gas mileage than a 1989 Ford Taurus.
The Lockerbie verdict remains disputed: was Megrahi guilty beyond doubt? Many argue no. Without #NotProven, weak evidence may more easily harden into guilty verdicts.
In 2021, journalist Craig Murray was jailed for contempt in the Salmond case. Critics saw it as political. Shows courts can bow to pressure. Removing #NotProven may tilt justice further.
Glad to see the scrapping of the #NotProven verdict. You are either guilty or not guilty, not, we think you’re guilty, we just can’t prove it.
The "not proven" verdict & calls to remove juries from sex cases add further layers of concern. We need open, honest discussion about the future of Scottish justice. Are we willing to sacrifice fairness for a narrative? #NotProven #JuryTrial
that’s why they come up for air—it quenches their thirst #notproven #probablymisleading
Scotland has a unique "not proven" verdict in criminal trials—alongside "guilty" and "not guilty." #NotProven #LegalNuance ❓
The PROBLEM with #NotProven is like in #Politics that all you have to do is make a credible accusation to destroy someone's reputation, so is likely excluded to prevent outbreaks of #Pantheism elsewhere 😎
IOW allowances for #NotProven does not mean FALSE by default. which is the #Atheist position - you either prove it true to a reasonable degree (and don't be a turkey about it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey_il…) or it's automagically deemed FALSE
Some court systems allow a fuzzier logic verdict of #NotProven so everything doesn't have to be shoehorned into some rigid #Rational binary framework of guilty/not whether it belongs there or not en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_proven
Heavily pixelates picture. Have you been taking pictures of your nieces telly through her window again? #suspect #notproven #couldtheynotplantanotherveetable

Makes a change from collapsing into bed with a colleague u suppose. #notproven
Sorry, my girl. You did not put in the EFFORT, you didn't try to make it stick. Your statements were #NOTPROVEN. You, came to a conclusion that was Logically Wrong and build upon [UPROVEN & even FALSE] premises.

It’s a concocted story for whatever reason. #notproven #ifeelforfagsandclarko
Did you hang Alastair Clarkson & Chris Fagan out to dry & then never bothered to follow it up?
#LUDICROUS NOW! THAT! IS! FACT! Even “IF” #KarenRead is guilty… the investigation has not proved it ~ yet! Maybe they have a bunny to pull out of the hat & saving it for later!🤦🏼♀️😳 #NotProven = #NotGuilty
