Presumption of Innocence is a legal right that every person accused of any crime is considered innocent until proven guilty according to law. This is the cornerstone of the Fair Trial standards (Article 6 of the ECHR).
The Legal Burden: The burden of proof lies entirely on the prosecution. The accused is not required to prove their innocence; instead, the state must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
The Forensic Conflict: When a judicial system ignores architectural or physical impossibilities (such as the “4-meter mirage” or chronologically impossible sequences), it effectively reverses the Presumption of Innocence. If the court forces the accused to explain why “laws of physics were broken” instead of dismissing a flawed accusation, the system has collapsed into Judicial Bias.
Reversing the burden of proof to accommodate physical impossibilities exposes a total collapse of procedural justice into systemic judicial bias.
