innocent until proven guilty

      Explicit

The presumption of innocence — being innocent until proven guilty — is a legal right that the accuse in criminal trials has in many modern nations. The burden of proof is thus on the prosecution, which has to collect and present enough compelling evidence to convince the judge and jury, who are 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. The Latin Legal maxim "In dubio pro reo" does not mean "presumption of innocence"; instead, this maxim is the Latin equivalent of the Rule of Lenity in U.S. common law.
