Verdict coming on legal confusion

SCOTLAND'S controversial not proven verdict is finally on death row after decades of despair.

- 

Families of victims denied justice because of the confusing verdict claim it should have been scrapped long ago.

The dad of Amanda Duffy, who saw the man accused of her murder walk free on a not proven verdict in 1992, has been at the forefront of these calls.

Joe Duffy wants MSPs to finally ditch it next week when they vote on a Justice Reform Bill - saying it has long served as a “cop out” for jurors.
