  • For a criminal case, a Scottish jury is made up of 15 people.

  • A simple majority (8-7) is sufficient to establish guilt or innocence.

  • Three verdicts are available. 

    • Guilty
    • Not guilty  
    • Not proven (the equivalent of not guilty in that it is regarded as an acquittal). NB: This outcome is unique to the Scottish legal system.
