Scottish law is based on what is best for the majority grouping in Scotland. We used to have the same type of law in the North of Ireland but we have moved on to a little bit fairer system where ones religion is the sole reason for verdict.
It is not only the legal system that has a rotten bias but as we seen last season when a number of Rangers players lost control of themselves at the cup match at Celtic Park. None of them were punished properly and once more Scottish Football was the laughing stock of Europe.
It seems Scottish Society at large is unable to move out of the bigotry and sectarianism of the 19th century. Instead of all right-minded people abhorring the verdict and discussing how things to try to avoid these biased and unjust verdicts in the future.
 
I asked the same thing.
they could throw it out on Botp as the charge is Botp, the aggravated part is incidental, but the aggravated part of the assault is the actual charge so do not have the facility to jettison that aspect of the charge. Is that right?

I agree 100% it is the prosecution at fault. An unnecessary risk to take with a piss easy prosecution.

and got a response
Not true Reb, Paul McBride said last night that the Jury could have dismissed the Sectarian element and just found him guilty of assault same as the Breach charge.

It is simply a scandal that they did not and only the jury members know why.

I now know better.
