Definition
The presumption of innocence is a fundamental principle of criminal law that assumes an accused person is innocent until proven guilty. This cornerstone of the justice system places the burden of proof on the prosecution, requiring them to present sufficient evidence to convince a judge or jury of the defendant's guilt, and helps ensure that individuals are not unfairly convicted without proper evidence or due process.
