Proven or Not Proven

That the Parliament notes the debate around the current three verdict system in Scotland, and the suggestion that this has led to low conviction levels and confusion for jurors; acknowledges that the campaign to remove the "not proven" verdict from the Scottish legal system; suggests that within the debate surrounding the review of the three verdict system, the option of  "proven" and "not proven" as the two available verdicts should be included; understands that a study conducted by the Open University of lawyers in Scotland found preference for "proven" and "not proven," as opposed to "guilty" and "not guilty"; considers that in a court of law it is the purpose of the Crown to prove the case or not, and further considers that having the two options being "proven" and "not proven" is a more honest description of what is happening in a court of law.
