Despite all the jokes about Arlen Spectre and his Scottish Law, I actually like the Scottish system.
The jury can say “we don’t think there is enough proof to convict but we still suspect he did it” or “We not only find him not guilty, we think he didn’t do it”
That makes a lot more sense to me than simply guilty or not guilty.
yes, it would’ve been nice if there were a way to say “we’re not sure if he’s guilty, but he certainly should be nowhere near children, nor should he have custody of his own children and be banned from adopting in the future...”
