offense is considered innocent until the
prosecutions proves him guilty beyond a
reasonable doubt.
• Presenting relevant evidences before the jury
to prove the guilt of the accused is the duty of
the prosecution

determines whether the evidence presented
is strong enough to lead to conviction
• If he finds the evidence is not strong enough,
he lets the jury to decide the case on the basis
of prosecution’s lack of evidence
• Your criminal lawyer should analyze your case
completely to prepare your defense, as no
two cases are exactly alike
• Anyone who has already been acquitted
cannot be prosecuted twice for the same act
or offense
• The act of charging a person for the offense
for which his innocence is proved is called
double jeopardy
• Make sure your criminal defense lawyer is
aware of the principles of criminal law in your
city so that your rights are protected
