What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

"Innocent until proven guilty" concerns whether someone did a crime, not whether something is a crime.

An action can clearly be a crime, but it might be unclear if you did that action.

    See my upthread comment: "Innocent until proven guilty" is catchy but false.

  • Only our legal institutions and the frameworks they create can decide if any specific act is a crime.
