On May 30, 1992, 19-year-old Scottish student Amanda Duffy was brutally murdered in a violent act that shocked her community. The main suspect in this heinous crime, Francis Auld, faced trial for murder in the High Court of Justiciary in Glasgow. However, he was acquitted when the jury returned a majority verdict of "not proven," leaving many questions unanswered. After years and years of tireless efforts by Amanda's family, who persistently sought to have Auld retried in their quest for justice for their daughter, the case seemed to come to a sudden and unfortunate halt in 2017 due to some very challenging circumstances. To this day, Amanda's case remains unsolved, continuing to weigh heavily on the hearts of her family and the community.

Porteous was arrested the same afternoon and charged with murder. He was tried at the High Court of Justiciary on 5 July 1736, where a majority of witnesses testified that Porteous had personally fired into the crowd on 14 April, although sixteen others said they had not seen him do so.Feelings were running high in Edinburgh and the jury unanimously found Porteous guilty of murder.

Porteous was imprisoned in the Tolbooth.Events in Scotland alarmed the government in London, and Sir Robert Walpole attempted to influence events by asking his representative in Edinburgh to become involved.
