In [[Scottish]] law, a jury is able to return a verdict of "Not Proven" as well as the familar "not guilty" and "guilty" verdicts. This verdict is designed to indicate that the jury is not convinced of the defendant's innocence, but there is insufficient evidence for a conviction. This third verdict is sometimes called the Scottish verdict, and there have been calls for its adoption in other common law jurisdictions.
