How could it not be? He was the former FM and still a powerful figure in the Nationalist movement. I thought he was guilty as sin tbh but he's obviously not. He’s a bad one. Whether in the eyes of the law or not, he’s a bad one.

Malinga the Swinga Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 To be clear first of all, I have never voted SNP and voted against independence and am no fan of Salmond. However, he has been found not guilty and that is that. On a different note, I have sympathy for the jury. I was on a jury for a rape and abduction case. Even with the benefit of CCTV, the final verdict was 8 v 7. I couldn't believe that we were so close but there you go, we sat and listened to the same statements for 7 days and yet the split was as close as one person. The level of proof that individuals require isn't set in stone, it is just a best effort to decide as honestly as they can. Without any physical evidence, it comes down to he said/she said, and the strict guidance that the judge provides in closing summing up. Every charge needed to be proven individually, you can't just say because so many people complained, then they must be telling the truth. Each one of them had to prove their own case and whilst 9 failed, 1 must have had a more compelling case but again, not enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

leginten Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Pretty distasteful thread, all in all. From the outset. Petty and premature glee at the hoped-for downfall of a politician, with scant regard to the issues involved. It’s the legal equivalent of the Hibs’ fans relegation party at Tynecastle a few years back. Gleeful distribution of party hats during the corteo from Roseburn followed by toys out the pram, tears and snotters, tantrums and recriminations in the aftermath.
