even when it's caught on video though, often times you don't have a complete context for that video. CCTV is often just one static camera position, so you don't see what happened before they moved into frame of the camera, and you can't see it from all angles... so even CCTV footage doesn't tell the whole story, and you still have reasonable doubt.
I'm saying the standard of "innocent until proven guilty" and "guilty beyond a reasonable doubt" is too high a standard, and with the right lawyers, it's almost impossible to convict anyone, because there will always be some level of reasonable doubt.
I think the standards for conviction are too high in most western countries.
