The presumption of innocence is a legal right that the accused in criminal trials has in many

present enough compelling evidence to convince the jury of the fact that beyond a
reasonable doubt the accused has broken the law. In case of remaining doubts, the accused
is to be acquitted.

nothing wrong with governments deliberately killing terrible people who commit terrible
crimes.
