presumption of innocence

Definition from Nolo’s Plain-English Law Dictionary

One of the most sacred principles in the American criminal justice system, holding that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty. In other words, the prosecution must prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, each essential element of the crime charged.

As Dana Bash of CNN said yesterday: "those that harp Kavaugnaugh is guilty!, want him to be guilty; those that harp he is innocent, want him to be innocent"

The criminal law presumption of innocence has no application in the court of public opinion or in confirmation hearings.
