Is London Miles Better?
We don’t know if jury-less trials will convict more rapists, but don’t shut down the debate | Nicola Sturgeon https://t.co/8u9nt7iT8a

Nicola Sturgeon's opinion piece in the Guardian about jury-less trials didn't attract much attention, but it is astonishing the former First Minister chose to ignore all the Scottish press, opting instead for London based newspaper to air her views.
Now why would she do that - the Guardian doesn't have a big Scottish readership and the Scottish legal system is hardly of great interest to readers in other parts of the UK?
“Sturgeon’s first venture into policy advice since her resignation came in a column in the Guardian supporting First Minister Humza Yousaf’s proposed Victims, Witnesses and Justice Reform (Scotland) Bill.” https://t.co/XnMTW8dDT1
