Here you go: how would it be possible to have elements of the Scots legal system--in particular, the unique third ("not proven") verdict--incorporated into the legal systems of both the US and Canada? Guessing it would require a POD during the late 17th/early 18th centuries (perhaps starting with the founding of Georgia, which initially was significantly Scots, or the acquisition of Nova Scotia and the subsequent arrival of significant numbers of Scots?) but the choice is left up to the individual.
From a legal layman's view, it seems like this might help unclog court backlongs. The "not guilty but don't do it again" verdict (as it's often described in Scotland as I hear it) would seem to mitigate hung juries, for starters.
