he sneered. Ann chuckled darkly as she glanced over her shoulder at Lexi and grinned before turning back to him and cocking her head. "Actually yes, considering the crimes you were imprisoned for." Linus snorted. "Alleged crimes, Your Highness." He corrected with a wobble of his head. "Ah, yes. Innocent until proven guilty…" Ann exclaimed quietly as she nodded her head as if contemplating his words and only just remembering the concept existed at all. A smug sneer spread across his face as he watched her through eyes narrowed in disdain.

he defended hotly, looking as if he was ready to battle the idiot that made the ridiculous accusation. Carolyn smiled at her partner strong defense of her honor. " Is nice that you think I am incapable of killing, but as a police officer, I would have thought you will see everyone as a suspect until proven innocent even if that person is your partner, " she teased. " Well, I will go with the lawyers here. Innocent until proven guilty, " Max teased back. Carolyn shook her head at him. " Anyway, detective Quinn doesn't think I did it...... " " Why did he have to question you at all? " Max asked confused. His partner being in a club where a murder took place does not automatically make her a su

- I said her as the killer, detective because the one who killed her without thinking she was leaving an eight-year-old orphan is none other than Sarah Johnson. Detective Callante was speechless. He who always found the words now is totally wordless. Somehow he expected this outcome. His career and experience have taught him to always grant the presumption of innocence until proven otherwise. At the moment, nothing would surprise him when it comes to Sarah, not even another crime. He was convinced even without evidence yet that she was guilty. The series of events is so obvious that even if he wanted he couldn't believe anything else about her. Are you sure of what you're saying, John? Do yo

Joan Dare scoffed a little and started her plea, “Your Honor and ladies and gentlemen of the jury; under the law, my client is presumed innocent until proven guilty. During this trial, you will hear no real evidence against my client. You will come to know the truth: that the first defendant Amber Banks was at the crime scene but was not involved in the murder of Liam Smith and that the second defendant, Anson Banks merely acted out in defence. Therefore my clients are not guilty.“ Anson was called to the witness stand next and as he got up on his feet, Amber raised her head slowly to meet his eyes, her face ashen with hurt. Anson’s breath caught in his throat

“But yet you're on her murderer’s side?” “Objection. Speculation.” “Rephrase the question.” Judge Henderson said. “And I'll remind you that the defendant is only accused. The law presumes innocence until proven guilty.” “Understood.” Harrington nodded, then turned to Larissa. “You’re the victim's relative and yet you're siding with the accused?”

That can be her way out. “We have now heard arguments from both sides in the case of People of the Philippines vs Marissa C. Garza must now decide if the State has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty of frustrated murder. I have been given material that will help me understand the law regarding the presumption of innocence and reasonable doubt, as well as the requirement for a unanimous verdict and the facts that the State must prove to find the defendant guilty” “Order” “Will the defendant stand, please? You may read the verdict”

“He just said that and yeah, he told me he’ll never contact me again if I did it and then the call ended…” “Do you have the call log?” “No… I remember it vanished as soon as the call ended…” “Hm. It is all so suspicious” “Yeah… but… Vincent” I looked at him and he did at me. “You believe me, right…?” He looked at me for a while and then nodded. “Yes. Because there is fear in your eyes, but not the one which people have when they lie-- rather the one which people have when they are unsure the other would believe the truth or not”

"I didn't steal anything. I didn't do anything wrong." The prosecutor raised an eyebrow, a skeptical look on his face. "Really? Then why did we find a trail of evidence leading directly to you?" I felt a surge of panic, but I pushed it aside. I knew I was innocent, and I was determined to prove it. "I don't know what you're talking about," I said. "I didn't do anything wrong. I'm a victim of circumstance, that's all." The prosecutor snorted. "A victim of circumstance? That's a pretty convenient excuse, don't you think?"

“I asked you what you’re going to do when we prove your innocence? You’ll lose that stellar reputation of yours and won’t be able to threaten everyone into doing what you wanted.” “Shit,” I cursed, “Maybe we shouldn’t prove I’m innocent. Or maybe I should just murder someone else. We just learned PEMDAS in math. That would cancel it out, right? I’m sure it’s the same principle. Hm, I wonder if it would work better if my victim was the future Alpha?” No death threats before dinner, Lilac.

“ Yes, but that doesn't bring back a hundred million dollars that was stolen. And the ironic thing is she's definitely going to deny.” “ How are you even sure she's the one who stole your money? It might be someone else.” she said, not in defense of Caryn though. She just felt anyone else could have stolen that money. You don't necessarily have to pin a crime on someone just because they are capable of commiting such a crime. Most times, the people we accuse of being guilty turn out to be the innocent ones. “ Well, tell me who did then? Just yesterday she found my files and today, a huge amount of money is suddenly missing from my account under a disguise name.”
