The creation of a victims’ commissioner and a consultation on scrapping the not proven verdict have been announced as part of SNP justice policies ahead of May’s election.
Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf said his party “is on your side and on the side of our communities” when it comes to criminal justice.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon told the PA news agency over the weekend the controversial not proven verdict – which is unique to Scotland – should be “looked at”.
