The Bill to scrap Scotland’s not proven verdict and make a number of changes to the justice system has been published.
The Victims, Witnesses and Justice Reform Bill will also change the size of criminal juries from 15 to 12.
Justice Secretary Angela Constance said: “This Bill will put victims and witnesses at the heart of the justice system. “Building on the experiences of survivors, victims and their families, these key reforms will make justice services more sensitive to the trauma it can cause.
