Presumption of Innocence in Peril

Explore the critical examination of the presumption of innocence in Anthony Gray's insightful book, Presumption of Innocence in Peril. Published by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc in 2017, this hardback edition spans 208 pages and delves into the troubling ways in which legislatures have eroded this fundamental principle of justice. Gray argues that courts have often acquiesced to these changes, highlighting a pressing need for criminal law to reconnect with moral comfort when assessing guilt. This thought-provoking work emphasizes the importance of imposing criminal sanctions only when there is substantial moral blame, making it essential reading for those interested in comparative law and the burden of proof in the United States. Discover how the balance of justice can be restored through a return to core ethical considerations in the legal system.
