📷 AN IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT FOR JIMS: THE GOVERNMENT HAS RESPONDED — NOW WE SEEK THE NEXT ANSWERS📷 📷 Petition PE2265 — Review Scotland’s response to the UK Supreme Court judgment on fair trial rights in Scotland 📷 petitions.parliament.scot/pe… We are pleased to share an important development in the Justice for Innocent Men Scotland (JIMS) campaign. The Scottish Parliament’s SPICe research briefing was published on 13 October 2026, and the Scottish Government has submitted a written response to the issues raised by our petition. This is progress. Our concerns are receiving parliamentary attention, and we now have a clearer basis for seeking further answers. 📷 WHAT HAS THE GOVERNMENT SAID? The Government has outlined steps taken by the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission (SCCRC), including a dedicated review team, a supplementary application form for cases connected with the judgment, and funding for an additional legal officer. These are important developments. The next question is whether the arrangements are sufficient and what more may be needed. 📷 WHAT SHOULD JIMS HIGHLIGHT IN OUR RESPONSE? We are now considering the Government’s submission and want to hear from our supporters about the issues they believe should be highlighted in our response. In particular, we are seeking your views on: 📷 How many convictions might warrant further consideration. 📷 Whether SCCRC resources and review arrangements are sufficient. 📷 Whether clear guidance is available to potentially affected individuals. 📷 How progress will be monitored and reported. 📷 Whether the Government should commit to a wider review of Scotland’s response to the judgment. Are there other questions or concerns you believe JIMS should raise with the Government? The Supreme Court judgment did not automatically overturn previous convictions. Each case must be assessed on its individual circumstances. However, people deserve clarity about the implications of the judgment and the options available to them. 📷 THE CAMPAIGN CONTINUES The Government’s response is an important development, but it does not mean that the wider review requested by JIMS has been agreed to. Our focus now is on preparing a considered response to the Government’s submission, encouraging continued parliamentary scrutiny and seeking clear answers to the questions that remain. 📷 HAVE YOUR SAY What would you like to see JIMS highlight in our response to the Government’s submission? Should we focus on guidance for potentially affected individuals, resources for case reviews, greater transparency, the need for a wider review, or other concerns? Please share your thoughts in the comments. Your feedback can help inform the issues we raise as the campaign moves forward. 📷 Thank you to everyone who has signed, shared and supported our petition. One step forward. Important questions remain. Together, we continue to seek clarity and fair consideration. 📷 READ AND SUPPORT PE2265:

📷📷 MONDAY MADNESS – JUSTICE FOR INNOCENT MEN 📷📷 📷 WHEN THE ACCUSER IS EXPOSED, WHO GIVES THE INNOCENT MAN HIS LIFE BACK? This is exactly why we need to talk about false allegations. According to reports, Jennifer Pritchard was jailed for 18 months following a malicious campaign against her ex-husband, police sergeant Steve Pritchard, falsely portraying him as a rapist and a baby killer. 📷 READ THE FULL STORY HERE: dailymail.com/.../ex-wife-fa…... 📷 Think about that for a moment. Imagine being publicly branded a monster. Imagine watching your reputation being destroyed. Imagine the impact on your family, your career, your mental health and the people who once trusted you. And imagine having to rebuild your life after someone deliberately tried to destroy it. A false allegation is not a harmless accusation. When someone knowingly fabricates a serious crime, the consequences can be devastating. 📷 JUSTICE MUST MEAN JUSTICE FOR EVERYONE. We must protect genuine victims and ensure they are heard and treated with compassion. But we must ALSO recognise men who are falsely accused, hold those who deliberately fabricate allegations accountable, and support the innocent people left picking up the pieces. One injustice must never be used to excuse another. 📷 A person's life should not be destroyed by a lie. 📷 Innocent men should not be left to suffer in silence. 📷 Accountability should not depend on who you are or what you accuse someone of. The question is: once the truth comes out, who helps the innocent man put his life back together? Justice doesn't end when the court case ends. For some people, that's when the battle to rebuild their lives really begins. 📷 MONDAY MADNESS QUESTION: Do you believe there is enough support for men who have been falsely accused — or are they too often forgotten once the headlines disappear? 📷 Let's have an honest conversation. 📷 Share this post. Give innocent men a voice. 📷 JUSTICE FOR INNOCENT MEN. JUSTICE FOR EVERYONE.
