Scotland passes justice reforms expanding victim rights, exclusion zones, and rape shield laws, ending the 'not proven' verdict.
Scottish Parliament has passed key justice reforms, including amendments by MSP Jamie Greene to the Victims, Witnesses and Justice Reform Bill, requiring the Crown Office to inform victims of prosecution decisions and introducing a Victim’s Charter.
The changes also incorporate Suzanne's and Michelle's Laws, allowing exclusion zones for released prisoners if safety is at risk.
Additionally, Holyrood voted to extend rape shield laws, closing a loophole that permitted non-complainants’ evidence to corroborate victims’ testimony.
The move, backed by SNP and Greens, aims to protect survivors, with a rape survivor welcoming the decision to eliminate the 'not proven' verdict, seen as harmful to victims.
