How many verdicts are possible in trials in Scotland?

Correct Answer: Three: 'guilty', 'not guilty' or 'not proven'

In Scotland, three verdicts are possible in criminal trials:

Guilty
Not guilty
Not proven

"Not proven" is a uniquely Scottish verdict — it means the jury is not convinced of guilt but is not fully satisfied with the not guilty verdict either. The accused is acquitted but the verdict carries a slight stigma.

In England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, only two verdicts are possible: guilty or not guilty.
