> Seeing as there is no presumption of innocence in the US
replyWait, what? Have you served on a criminal jury in the US? There most definitely is a presumption of innocence, and the judge will remind the jury of this multiple times in the course of the trial.
The burden is on the prosecution (I.e. the state) to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Source: jury duty.
That might be what they tell you, now explain to me how this guy was presumed innocent and jailed for 10 years.
