Jurisprudence of Innocence

The Jurisprudence of Innocence is a legal principle that emphasizes the importance of presuming a person's innocence until proven guilty. In legal systems, this means that the burden of proof lies with the prosecution, requiring them to provide evidence against the accused. It safeguards individual rights and ensures fair treatment in the justice process. This principle aims to prevent wrongful convictions and uphold justice, reflecting the belief that it is better for a guilty person to go free than for an innocent person to be wrongly punished.
