Not so .....
That may be true of a particular case, but an accused may have a criminal record for the same or similar offences stretching back decades ..... |

What about the cases where it's generally thought the jury got it wrong, does the fact OJ Simpson was found not guilty mean we must there consider him so in our minds for example?

What we think 'in our minds' is light years away from being on a jury and being party to every piece of salient information that is available - it is upto those responsible to prove without any reasonable doubt that a person is guilty. If they cannot do so: they are either 'wrong' in their assumption that the person is guily / cannot provide evidence to back up their case / are inept at their job / or do not have enought evidence (even circumstantial - ie: Nat Fraser was found guilty based on circumstantial evidence). |

Innocent until proven guilty. It's dependent on the evidence available....if there is not enough evidence to prove guilt: then person is innocent... I'm unclear which part of that you have not understood? Last edited by Pyramid*; 07-10-2012 at 01:36 PM. |

that's all you need be concerned with... innocent of a crime: as decided from a jury. |

given that you are commenting and taking a high degree of interest in the thread... I'd have thought that was 'self explanatory' Omah.. |
