Do femenists agree with the presumption of innocence and the reasonable doubt standard in rape trials?
Q. what about reasonable doubts??? Do feminist think that the easy conviction of an innocent man charged with rape is a normal, necessary risk? Sam, Would if you like your son, brother or boyfriend go to jail for a rape that never committed? Would the punishment of any innocent persons be just if useful against rape in general? innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt??? What about doubt cases?

A. Reasonable doubt is fair. However, reasonable doubt should not be established by relentless detailing of the victim's sexual history and insulting her reputation. Innocent until proven guilty is the standard procedure for any criminal trial in the western world.

The presumption of innocence for an arguido is a joke?
Q. The best summary of the McCanns' current situation came from a Portuguese commentator, Joao Marques dos Santos of Correio da Manha. "The theory of the presumption of innocence for an arguido is a joke. When someone is declared an arguido, the exact opposite occurs. That person, whether innocent or not, is considered by investigators to be potentially guilty. The effects are devastating and irreparable." police searching for Madeleine McCann have been told: Find her body or her parents will escape prosecution.

A. Whether its Arguido or "suspect" either way, when a person is named as a prime suspect it means we the public, can consider them possibly involved. The named suspect in any case, UK or Portugal is bound to come under the spotlight. Sorry but didn't hear people fighting to clear Murats name on here at the time!

How realistic is the presumption of innocence??
Q. Could you give someone accused of child molestation (or other crimes against children) the benefit of the doubt? Will you treat them as innocent UNTIL proven guilty.. What about Warren Jeffs or R. Kelly? Could you give either of them the benefit of the doubt? ((I ask because - R.Kelly seems more popular than ever. And Warren Jeffs had bodyguards. He also had supporters in court with him - as his verdict was being read.)) When I asked about the presumption of innocence, I wasn't referring exclusively to the court of law. Clearly 'we' as people formulate opinions & as a result 'we' pass judgment. So this question explores that premise. In the court of public opinion - how influential are our own personal biases? psychmaj323: i love jill!! [cont.]

No Presumption of Innocence, what does that mean?
Q. Someone was acused of uttering death threats ... the Crown Attorney threw the case out due to lack of presumption of innocence... What does that mean?

A. One example of lack of presumption of innocence might be what would be called in the US "unreasonable search and seizure' If the Police searched a person or premises without reasonable cause, they have violated his presumption of innocence.

Q. In regards to Cpl. Cesar Armando Laurean: Watching Nancy Grace tonight I am disgusted that an ex-judge can not give a person the right of their presumption of innocence. She has said that locking this guy up Would not could but would have saved this girl. That means that she believes that he is guilty of some crime at this point whether that mean the murder itself or something related to it. No how bad it looks a person always deserves this presumption. Just to show an example of why this man deserves this presumption is there is a possibility that his wife had done this, I do understand he is on the run but that is not a guilty plead by any means.

But nobody knows where Caylee is and the fact remains that Casey was the last to see her. She has told lie after proven lie to the police. Any presumption of innocence is seriously undermined by Casey s behaviour. Poor Caylee deserved a better parent than this.

When leaving a store do you have to show your receipt to an employee when asked to?
Q. I went to Walmart and bought a bunch of things. The cashier didn't put the diapers in a bag because the package was too big. Everything else was in plastic Walmart bags. As I was leaving the store, the lady (Walmart employee) at the door asked to see my receipt. I showed it to her, but was fuming inside that someone assumed I had stolen this (otherwise why check my receipt). Whatever happened to the presumption of innocence before guilty?

It's just store policy. Not that they think you specifically are a shoplifter. But when everything in your cart was in a bag, and only one large item wasn't, that's a bit much. Maybe she was new.

Why do feminists think equality means undermining a fundamental concept of justice and human rights for men?
Q. Feminists have basically overturned the right of presumption of innocence in courts, but only for men. In the US, this follows from the 5th, 6th and 14th amendments. As a basic human right it is included in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 11: "Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defence." Feminists have long lobbied for men to have to PROVE what steps they took to ensure consent prior to intercourse with a woman. In other words, he has to prove he is innocent. She has to prove nothing under any circumstances. Seeing as how the studies by the Airforce and a… [cont.]

Why do some people find it so hard to grasp this concept??
Q. In democratic society, like ours in the UK, presumption of innocence is a legal right that the accused in criminal trials. The burden of proof is thus on the prosecution, which has to convince the court that the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. In principle, the defense does not have to 'prove' anything. However, the defense may present evidence tending to show that there is a doubt as to the guilt of the accused. what is so damn hard to understand about this? Why, why, why (delilah) are you called a "pro McCann" if you simply point out the facts of the legal system? It is stupid beyond belief.
