So you posted what I had already posted, (article 14(2)) for no reason?
"No one is charged with a law, people are charged with breaking a law."
Yep, it could have been worded better, but I didn't think it need correction or clarification when it was initially posted after and was related to jambo12's "Everyone charged with a criminal offence".
"....Even without being charged we are all entitled to the presumption of innocence. If you are walking down a road a policeman cannot assume you are guilty without due cause. The presumption doesn't need a charge....."
According to jambo12's excerpt it does.
P.S. Without being charged with anything, there is no presumption of innocence nor is there a presumption of guilt. The presumption of innocence is to put the onus on the prosecution to prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt in legal proceedings. Read the article I posted earlier on this thread.
The court never ruled on innocence, that is not what they do.
