Presumption of innocence

Presumption of innocence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The presumption of innocence (the principle that one is considered innocent until proven guilty) is a legal right of the accused in a criminal trial, recognised in many nations. The burden of proof is thus on the prosecution, which has to collect and present enough compelling evidence to convince the trier of fact, who is 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. This presumption is seen to stem from the Latin legal principle that ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat (the burden of proof rests on who asserts, not on who denies).

"The presumption of innocence is a conclusion drawn by the law in favor of the citizen, by virtue whereof, when brought to trial upon a criminal charge, he must be acquitted, unless he is proven to be guilty."
United States Supreme Court decision

Cautand cu Google, am observat ca expresia se foloseste mai mult in engleza americana. Exemplu:
Courts give the Prosecution the Benefit of the Doubt (...)
http://www.legalupdateonline.com/4th/335#cont339

Cautand cu Eur-lex, am gasit expresia si in legislatia comunitara:
62008J0413
Hotărârea Curții (camera a doua) din data de 17 iunie 2010.
Lafarge SA împotriva Comisiei Europene.
Cauza C-413/08 P.

25. În aceste împrejurări, trebuie să se examineze motivele invocate de recurentă în subsidiar.
Cu privire la al doilea motiv, întemeiat pe o încălcare a normelor în materie de sarcină a probei, a principiului prezumției de nevinovăție și a principiului in dubio pro reo

25. In those circumstances, the appellant’s alternative grounds of appeal must be examined.
The second ground of appeal, alleging breach of the rules on the burden of proof, of the principle of the presumption of innocence and of the in dubio pro reo principle (the principle that the accused be given the benefit of the doubt)
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Notice.do?val=517773:cs&lang=ro&lis...
Example sentence:

Let's give her the benefit of the doubt and assume that she's right.

neutral Annamaria Amik : este o formulă colocvială, nu principiul juridic

Am gasit expresia asta si intr-un context juridic, ce-i drept intr-un text literar cam vechi, The Benefit of the Doubt de Jack London, unde zice asa: t is an axiom of the law that the defendant should be given the benefit of the doubt. http://www.classicr
