Is e Gun Dearbhadh (Not proven sa Bheurla) binn a dh'fhaodadh cùirt ann an Alba toirt a-mach. Fo lagh na h-Alba, tha trì binnean ri làimh aig an luchd-breithe; Ciontach, Neo-chiontach agus Gun Dearbhadh.
No Pruiven (Not proven in Inglis) is a verdict that can be gien bi a coort in Scotland.
Mar sin dheth, dh'fhaodadh deuchainnean eucoireach crìochnachadh le aon de trì breithean: breith dìtidh (ciontach), air neo aon de dhà bhreith saorachaidh (gun dearbhadh, neo-chiontach).
Unner Scots law, juries decidin creeminal trials haes three verdicts that thay can retour; Guilty, No guilty an No Pruiven.
Ma bheirear breith Gun Dearbhadh, is e beachd na cùirte nach do dh'fhoghain an fhianais a chaidh a chur air adhart leis a' phrocadair airson ciont a dhearbhadh; ach, tha eas-aonta ann mu neo-chiontachd an neach a tha fo chasaid.
The No Pruiven verdict states that the coort hauds the procurator didna pit forrit eneuch evidents o pruif, raither nor that the defender wisna connectit ava wi the crime; the coort is statin that thare's eneuch conseederable dout anent the wytit defender's innocence.
Is ionann, a-rèiste, buil nam breithean Gun Dearbhadh agus Neo-chiontach fon lagh, ged a dh'fhaodadh neo-chiontachd an neach-dhìona a bhith fo amharas ann am beachd a' mhòr-shluaigh fhathast, oir thathar a' saoilsinn gum faodadh e bhith ciontach ach nach robh gu leòr de dh' fhianais air a cruinneachadh leis a' phrocadair.
The affcome o this aesome verdict is the same as ane o No Guilty, in that the defender is lowsed athoot punishment or creeminal record. It fends protection frae dooble jeopardy an aa. The effect on public opeinion can be gey different, houaniver, as it suggests that the defender is thocht tae be guilty but wis juist lowsed acause the procurator haedna gaithered eneuch evidents.
Gheibhear eisimpleir den bhuil seo bhon 19mh linn ann an Glaschu leis a' bhreith gun dearbhadh a chaidh a thoirt ann an cùis na mnà-uasail Madeleine Nic a' Ghobhainn a bha fo chasaid muirt.
An example o this can be fund in 19t century Glesca. Socialite Madeline Smith is braidly seen as haein been fund guilty o murther.
Bha beachd coitcheann ann gun robh i ciontach.
The case wis no pruiven, but Smith is aye popularly thocht o as a convict murtheress.
