The presumption of innocence – being considered innocent until proven guilty – is a legal right that the accused in criminal trials has in many modern countries. The burden of proof is thus on the prosecution, which has to collect and present enough compelling evidence to convince the trier of fact, who is restrained and ordered by law to consider only actual evidence and testimony that is legally admissible, and in most cases lawfully obtained, that the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. In case of remaining doubts, the accused is to be acquitted. This presumption is seen to stem from the Latin legal principle that ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat (the burden of proof rests on who asserts, not on who denies).

Q. where can i watch beverly hills season 3 episode 11 "a presumption of innocence" online for free? Asked by Tara - Fri Jun 12 03:06:39 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments Why are people on YA questions so thick? Q. Why do they think that lines in newspapers and reports on TV are reason to post questions saying the McCann's are guilty? What has happened to common sense and presumption of innocence? Asked by Fiddlesticks - Tue Sep 11 07:28:26 2007 - - 58 Answers - 0 Comments A. Good question. I think that these people think that life is a soap opera and are trying to guess the script. They want the McCanns to be guilty because they are successful and educated so many people cant relate to them. They forget that if the McCanns are innocent (which I believe they are) they are adding to this couples grief. It is almost as if they dont care about their feelings which is very sad. Answered by dogs3kids2hubby1 - Tue Sep 11 07:40:08 2007 When it comes to rape cases?
Q. Is the presumption of innocence more important, meaning that an offender might eventually walk free if the rape cant be proven, for example because the victim went to the police too late and no records of vaginal bruises have been taken that are caused by forceful dry sex, or is it more important to be on the safe side, imprisoning people on the accusation alone the way it happened in the past, meaning that eventually people who have been falsely accused of rape end up in jail ? In real life there is no perfection you have to pick eithier one offenders running free or innocents doing time. Danielle it depends on where you live.

Personally, I'd rather 100 guilty go free than one innocent be punished. Society seems to disagree. In spite of the fact that in recent years over 200 men who were serving prison sentences (some on death row) have been released from prison by irrefutable evidence of their innocence makes me realize that many inmates are, in fact, guiltless of the crimes for which they were incarcerated. Many are still incarcerated due to malfeasance and misfeasance as in the many cases of forensic expert (expert liar, that is) Joyce Gilchrist of Oklahoma City. So much emotion is used to convict that I feel the American jurisprudence system is totally flawed and completely unreliable. Add to problems such as this the fact that somewhere between 21 and 26%… [cont.] Answered by Phil #3 - Thu May 31 11:38:47 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "presumption of innocence"  news.google.com Fight News Therefore we're going forward with the presumption of innocence .
