In this country’s criminal justice system, those charged with a crime are presumed to be innocent until proven guilty. This scared principle of constitutional law in essence means that a person facing a criminal charge is innocent until the prosecution can prove beyond a reasonable doubt each and every element of the charged crime.
However, the notoriety of certain violent crimes such as murders and sexual assault tend draw a lot of media attention and tend to incite the emotions of the communities where the alleged crime occurred. Many times in such cases the person facing the charges may be unfairly judged by community members well before trial making it difficult for them to get a fair trial.
