In criminal trials conviction is on the basis of a majority verdict, with eight jurors required to decide that the accused is guilty; should fewer than eight jurors declare a guilty verdict then the accused is acquitted . Thus, a hung jury is an impossibility in Scottish criminal law, but in civil trials a hung jury is possible . Some people were executed on majority verdicts in Scotland, such as Susan Newell, who had one juror dissenting . </P> <P> Criminal procedure in Scotland is generally regulated by the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 (as amended) and various Acts of Adjournal passed by the High Court of Justiciary . Under Scots law a jury in a criminal trial must have at least fifteen jurors for a case to continue, and at least eight jurors must declare guilt into order to convict . The jury has a choice of three verdicts: guilty (a conviction), not guilty (acquittal) and not proven (also acquittal). </P> <P> The pool of potential jurors is chosen purely at random, and Scottish courts have set themselves against any form of jury vetting . </P>
