I'm Molly Wansall and I'm Geoffrey Wansall and for the last 16 years or thereabouts we have been having lunch every Saturday and often our conversation turns to murder and that's what's prompted us to launch this true crime podcast called Blood Ties.

Welcome back to the Blood Ties podcast. I'm Molly Wansall and I'm here with my father, Jeffrey Wansall.

Hello everyone, welcome back. Thank you so much for listening. We've got a wonderful tweet from someone listened in Scotland as anxious for us to do more Scots stories.

I think it was an email.

Oh, okay. Well, whatever it was.

We had an electronic communication.

We had an electronic communication.

I'm not very good at what they all are.

But I think Scott's stories are very interesting,

partly because, of course, I was born in Scotland on the Clyde, Grinick,

and as was my mother.

And so I'm very interested in Scottish crimes.

Also, I'm fascinated by their different judicial system.

I was having lunch yesterday with a Queen's Council

who works both in Scotland and in England,

and we were talking about how very different

judiciary is in each country

so there's lots and lots of things to look at

for example the Scots

can pass a sentence of unproven which which is not the same as not guilty.

What does that mean?

It means the case hasn't been proven.
