As an amendment to motion S6M-02553 in the name of Jamie Greene (Ending the Not Proven Verdict), insert at end “; recognises that many survivors of sexual crimes find their experiences of the justice system to be re-traumatising, and believes that improving the experience of victims will require improvements throughout the criminal justice process and that this must start with clearing the backlog of court cases, which disproportionately affects access to justice for women and children, as a priority.”
