Scottish Law allows for three alternative verdicts: guilty; not guity, or not proven. What a shame that third option isn't  open to our courts.

Father Vincent Ryan might not agree...

Why?

Because he might think himself not guilty....and not subject to Scottish law anyhoo.

He very well may - but in that case  I'm sure he'd find "Not Proven" a more acceptable verdict  than "Guilty".

We may never get to ask him...

Believe it or not, I hadn't actually planned on doing so.
