Would probably be the allegations of sexual misconduct that police were investigating unless he’s done something else in past 24 hours .
Will wait to see what transpires court appearance may be this afternoon .

I think salmond may have been poached by the brexiteers. But if he goes to prison he'll be trout on good behaviour in a couple of weeks |

Nine charges of sexual assault.

That's some charge sheet for someone who had aspirations of being the first President of Scotland! |

Prosecutors have a great way of making loads of charges together that all come under the same incident because they have more chance of at least one charge sticking |

No doubt he'll say the charges are a load of old Pollocks, and try to wriggle off the hook like a slippery eel...of course he will...allegedly he's a politician |

"A politician pledging to "tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" will be a novelty."
How does a politician answer a straight question ?
Seriously I don’t think I’ve heard any doing it for at least 30 years .  |

This is a very serious issue that is being trivialized by people writing pun related posts.
Cod you all come down off your perch and decide to focus on the issue instead of carping on.

When you read those charges , I know it’s alleged, but they’re not trivial crimes. Why is it ok to do puns related to fish about it all? It trivialises what he’s been charged with.

Here is Scotland it has been met with total amazement, although he is a man with a well buffed ego and a total lack of humility, i never thought of him as a man who would be associated with these types of crimes.  |

It’s not one and the same thing is it? There’s a victim, alleged crimes and for some reason it’s ended up being a thread about fish. It’s just my opinion. I don’t think it should be a thread to amuse others that’s all. |

The two civil servants who investigated the allegations created retrospective guidelines and drew up a critical report based on their enactment!
They and their methods were severely criticised in court by a senior law lord. I cannot understand why they have not been charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice.
There is something murky going on behind the scenes. |

Because they were investigating a complaint on behalf of the "employer", not as part of a criminal investigation.
That is why Salmond sought judicial review in the civil court, that the employer - a public body - had not followed its own process.
The criminal investigation is separate.

I would argue that the civil case feeds in to the criminal investigation. I doubt whether Police Scotland would have entirely ignored the actions of the civil procedure, flawed though it undoubtedly was.
Through observation and third party engagement on behalf of a friend who was unjustly accused, I know that the atmosphere within the justice system in relation to anything to do with inappropriate behaviour, either at work or in the home, has been skewed by Holyrood "sending out a message" to accompany its legislation.
You can not rely on the unsullied purity of justice from the Scottish justice system, unfortunately. |

Has the internal case not been put on hold given the multiple charges by the cps/police?
Usually does in some instances, also the balance of proof and the threshold to charge may differ in bothhis employer and the judiciary.. |

And where are you gonna get them in Scotland? ?
You are either with the snp or you are the enemy and that will carry into any jury.
I fully expect his sole defence will be he can't get a fair trial.
Case dismissed. |

Tipped in his favour - after a trial, with a jury.
People will either be upset or pleased about the verdict - but justice, like it or not, has been done.
Those who feel the evidence was against him should consider that it, clearly, was not strong enough to convict him.
In a criminal trial like his, if there is any reasonable doubt at all, the jury has no choice but to acquit.
In Scotland, there's the option for a Not Proven verdict, which was given on the attempted R charge.
Given how very difficult it is to get an actual R to trial, let alone secure a conviction; that Not Proven is actually quite a damning verdict.
However, it is not enough to deprive him of his liberty; curtailed as it is (for us all) by Covid 19. |

The Attempted R charge was found not guilty.
The case of not proven was the Sexual Assault with intent to R.

The not proven verdict is an unusual and highly controversial feature of the Scottish legal system which in practice is exactly the same as a verdict of not guilty

.if he was not innocent, he would have been found guilty in the high court of Scotland
he has been fully cleared even though he was stitched up and there was certain evidence in his favour he was not allowed to produce to court
A great day for Scottish Justice
dont you agree

Scots Law is based on Roman law. You need corroboration of a crime. There was none in this case, Fuck all..  |
