Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Criminal procedure refers to the legal process for adjudicating claims that someone has violated criminal law. Currently, in many countries with a democratic system and the rule of law, criminal procedure puts the burden of proof on the prosecution - that is, it is up to the prosecution to prove that the defendant is guilty beyond any reasonable doubt, as opposed to having the defense prove that s/he is innocent, and any doubt is resolved in favor of the defendant. This provision, known as the presumption of innocence, is required, for example, in the 46 countries that are members of the Council of Europe, under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, and it is included in other human rights documents. However, in practice it operates somewhat differently in different countries.
