Heard in 1 episode across 1 show since Aug 2026

The presumption of innocence is a fundamental legal principle dictating that any person accused of a crime is considered innocent until proven guilty. Under this principle, the burden of proof lies entirely on the prosecution, which must present compelling evidence to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. If the prosecution fails to meet this standard, the accused must be acquitted of the charges.
