    Crown Agent David Harvie said: “The introduction of a specialist sexual offences court would be an important step towards meaningful improvement in the delivery of justice in Scotland, for complainers, for accused, for society as a whole and is one that I fully support.”

    A cross-justice Review Group, chaired by the Lord Justice Clerk, Lady Dorrian, has recommended that a new, national specialist Court with trauma-informed procedures be created to deal with serious sexual offence cases in Scotland http://bit.ly/2OAKw9b.

    - Concerning these "national specialist Court with trauma-informed procedures" the Scottish Government funded front-organisation: "Rape Crisis Scotland " is already proposing they be held before a judge only, which would make them particularly useful for the conviction of political opponents without any such nuisance as a jury: and most especially in Scotland where the head of the COPFS- the Lord Advocate sits in the Cabinet.

    The Chief Executive of the COPFS furthermore is the above David Harvey himself: previously (if that word is ever applicable in such a case)of MI5 who was also involved in the mess of the Scottish governments whole illegal "harassment complaints" attempt against Alex Salmond.

    Needless to say, the Jury was the saving grace of the trial resorted to when that particular process was shown to be illegal, which may explain to the sceptical among us why juries in such trials are now being targeted for removal.
