The dad of ecstasy death schoolgirl Grace Handling was among victims’ families welcoming a new bill to scrap the controversial not proven verdict yesterday.
Stewart Handling branded the verdict “lazy and convenient” after watching the man who gave his 13-year-old daughter the drugs that killed her walk free from court.
A proposal to abolish Scotland’s unique three-verdict system is contained in a new bill published by the Scottish Government which would see the most radical shake-up of the country’s justice system in decades if passed.
