Proven Guilty
The principle of "innocent until proven guilty" should not be taken lightly. "Presumption of innocence" means to stress that the prosecution has the duty to prove each charge of the illegal/unlawful act beyond a reasonable doubt and that the accused bears no burden of proof.
However, the notion of being innocent until proven guilty is not a right granted by the Constitution but is a part of common law. Ultimately common law uses former courts cases to make its determinations in regards to innocence or guilt. Therefore, if a similar case was already resolved, the court is usually bound to follow that outcome, however when the court finds that the current issue is ultimately unique from all previous cases, judges have the authority and

    Smith V Cain Ap Go Po

    The Supreme Court case of Smith V Cain was an unusual one in which the defendant was claiming that many of his rights were being denied and he was given unfair trial. Smith was being prosecuted for the murder of 5 people in a Louisiana home. The only eye witness was an actual survivor of the shooting whose name was Burl Cain. Cain claimed that Juan Smith was one of the gunmen who murdered 5 innocent people in a Louisiana home. The court case climbed its way from the lower courts due to a writ of Certiorari on January 31st, 2011, and from that point on was sent through a series of juries and decisions in which the original decision of the case was reviewed by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court felt that the original claim by Juan Smith that his rights were denied, was plausible and that they needed to certiorari the decision to make sure that Smith was granted another trial. From the Supreme Court’s decision to Certiorari the decision it can be inferred that they wanted to make sure that Juan Smith was rewarded a second and fair trial that would give him a standing chance at actually being escaping the jail time that he would have to serve if he were to actually be convicted of murdering the 5 people in the Louisiana house that day.…

    George Davis Case

    . . . Under the doctrine, once an appellate court rules upon a question presented on appeal, litigants and lower courts become bound by the ruling, which is considered to be the law of the case . . . . Not only are lower courts bound by the law of the case, but decisions rendered by a prior appellate panel will generally govern the second appeal at the same appellate level as well, unless the previous decision is incorrect because it is out of keeping with controlling principles announced by a higher court and following the decision would result in manifest injustice.”…

    CJUS/1402B-02 Types Of Legal Evidence

    Most people, when not involved in a criminal case, are under the assumption and believe that our civil rights are protected by the U.S. Constitution, specifically the Fifth Amendment, which states an individual cannot be charged twice for the same crime; known as the “double jeopardy” rule. Although this is accurate, what many individuals do not understand is that this will only apply if a defendant has been either convicted or acquitted of a crime. For example, if a defendant is acquitted of a murder, the state is able to charge him with the same crime, and then continually go to trial until a conviction is made. However, if the defendant goes to trial and the trial ends in either a mistrial or hung jury, the state will often charge the defendant again (Balko,…

    Examples Of Innocent In To Kill A Mockingbird

    Some individuals say people are innocent until proven guilty. This is not the case for everybody. For example, in Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird there are two characters, Tom Robinson and Boo Radley who are thought of badly by some of the people because they are different than the norm. Due to the fact that Boo and Tom are different then the rest, people tend to jump to conclusions. They assume that they are guilty before they are proven guilty.…

    Essay On Prior Convictions

    “Innocent until proven guilty” is what our judicial system is based on. Not “innocent based on prior convictions”. Basing a verdict on a person’s prior convictions is just unfair. Everyone should be entitled to a fair trial based on evidence gathered that is related to the crime at hand. If suspects continue to be judge on prior convictions it would make it very hard for them to make positives steps forward.…
