And the FM still claims that he leads a ‘progressive govt’. There is absolutely nothing ‘progressive’ about battered women being denied emergency legal remedies because all the lawyers in town have withdrawn from the legal aid scheme. Shameful

The time to draft a single paragraph of a Bill to give justice to the innocent victims of the Post Office scandal has eluded Scottish Govt - but hot of the presses - here’s a detailed 40 page document on ‘Justice in an Independent Scotland’

It is completely misleading to talk of UK Govt ‘extending’ legislation to every UK nation - Justice is not devolved to the Welsh Assembly and when the scandal broke Northern Ireland didn’t have a functioning Assembly. PS it had nothing to do with Royal Mail

Every single postmaster convicted in Scotland was prosecuted by COPFS - headed by the Lord Advocate who is part of the Scottish Executive. The FM demanded justice in January -3 months later it seems that @scotgov has done absolutely nothing while WM has drafted legislation

The Madeleine Smith house - currently lying empty and unloved. If I ever win the lottery I plan to buy it and turn it into a museum to all the great Glasgow murder stories - Oscar Slater, Dr Prichard etc. Who’s in?
Embezzlement = X in permitted possession of Y’s money or property & X bound to account to Y for what he did with it & X made unauthorised use of the money & in bad faith or for some corrupt motive (scottish jury manual)
I’ve always struggled with the proposition that jurors - in England - can ‘acquit a defendant according to their conscience’. In Scotland we would never make such a suggestion - accepting that they must reach a verdict by applying the judge’s legal directions to the evidence

I had a recent short murder trial where jurors spent THREE DAYS deliberating - returning 3 times with questions - showing 100% commitment to doing justice to a complete stranger. Breathtaking fairness. And the SNP’s Justice Minister still thinks that juries can’t be trusted

The ‘plan’ will involve the conv rate for juryless pilot rape cases being compared with cases decided by jury - COPFS presumably will have the power to send the strong cases to the juryless court - the weak cases to the jury court = huge difference in conv rate and no going back

Another interview left with a sense that I had disappointed by failing to get on the ‘end of free speech as we know it’ bandwagon. The recording of ‘non-crime hate incidents’ is much more problematic than the Act and the messaging has been incomprehensible linkedin.com/posts/tlrqc_fo…
Very interesting that @we_are_APPEAL are expressing doubts about the safety of convictions reached on a 10-2 majority - in Scotland u can get a life sentence on the basis of a 8-7 majority AND @scotgov proposes abolition of not proven verdict

@GlasgowAdvocate It should be astonishing, but it's not. This government, as with previous ones, has totally failed on access to justice.
@GlasgowAdvocate I don’t really understand what has happened. I started work in the mid 80s when Thatcher was PM. A fairly big mainly civil firm we did civil advice and assistance and legal aid, a little criminal ABWOR. Often “matrimonial” related. Now almost no one does legal aid. Extraordinary.
Our peace advocacy stall is up and running in Buchanan Street again. #Israel #Gaza #AmYisraelChai #BringThemAllHomeNOW
Extraordinary decision for @Lawscot to withdraw from these discussion. This is the strongest action LANT could have taken and it’s an embarrassing failure from @ScotGovJustice. Well done @IanMoir5
The Law Society is to withdraw from discussions on creating a review mechanism for legal aid fees, saying it has ‘lost confidence’ in the @scotgov project due to a lack of progress. Read our statement ➡️bit.ly/44jVvWE
Paid a visit to the The Glasgow Art Club & Gallery this week, to see the 135th Paisley Art Institute exhibition (free, open Tuesday – Saturday 11am until 5pm until June 8, and well worth a visit), when I spotted this beauty by Robert Eadie, one of my favourite Glasgow artists.
Complaints were received
Alex Cole-Hamilton forced to apologise for calling Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater clowns #fmqs
Very kind of Tony Lenehan to make these comments about a workshop we held at @UofGLaw on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week (although I fear today turned out to not be the ideal day to issue a plea to the Scottish Government...)

#PlanningStuff in #Glasgow: The scaffold has now dropped so the ‘B’ listed retained facade for 140-144 Trongate, which dates from 1875, has been revealed once more. You can see the extent of repairs including new stone carving and the reinstated cast iron balustrade…👀👇🥰! 1/2

@GlasgowAdvocate @Stix_n_stones22 @scotgov Am I right that the LA could initiate that, by presenting an application for review under the nobile officium with a list of cases where Horizon evidence was an element in the case? Isn’t that the sort of thing the N O is for?
@GlasgowAdvocate @Stix_n_stones22 @scotgov Nobody would object, if the judges were up for it, which a quiet chat would clarify. Unlike those cases of injustice where those within the system have messed up. Have we moved on from the days of Oscar Slater (well, perhaps not, Lockerbie)? @rblackqc
Thank you Simone Byrne for this wonderful series that gives insight to many of the woman I admire & respect & thank you @ff_scotland for the opportunity to take part.

This tension between the LA & the FM as to the route through may well explain the FM’s (misdirected) anger at Westminster. For myself, I agree with the LA: convictions, if wrongful, should be overturned by Courts, not legislative fiat.
The FMs own Lord Advocate, who sits in his Cabinet, did not want a UK extension of the legislation into Scotland. The Scottish parliament could pass this in a week but refuse to do to.

Hi @HumzaYousaf have you met the Lord Advocate - she sits in cabinet. Could you have a word. No, not about keeping Nicola out of **** but you making an arse of yourself.
@AlanJZycinski @HumzaYousaf @LBCNewsScot SNP Minister. "We would like WM to interfere in this devolved matter". SNP Lord Advocate "Actually, WM should keep out of this devolved matter" WM " Errr.... what should we do?" SNP "It doesn't matter, whatever you do we'll use it as a grievance".
@HumzaYousaf I beg to differ. If UKGov interfered in literally any other aspect of the Scottish judicial system, there would be justified outrage. Separation of powers means (IMHO) this should be sorted judicially; but if there is to be a legislative solution then it should be a Scots one.
Lots to do today but shall have Prince on all day. As with every day, I will be thankful we had him, but still gutted we didn't have more time with him.
