The Scots ‘Not Proven’ verdict seems to have fallen very much out of use nowadays, and there appears to be a move afoot to take it out of legal use…

Scottish consultation on the ‘Not Proven’ verdict option.

My own view of Assange’s Wikileaks activity is that, amongst other things, he shone a light on evidence that it’s not just ‘the other side’ who fight dirty. I see that as a good thing. I’m going from memory here, and it’s been a long time so, if I’m wrong, I’m wrong.
