What are the fundamental principles of criminal law? In this video, we aim at explaining exactly what those are: i) a defendant is innocent until proven guilty; ii) the prosecution (the Crown Prosecution Service in most cases) bears the burden of proof (also known as the ‘golden thread running through criminal law’ and contrary to what Foster’s Crown Law 1762 stated); iii) the standard of proof in criminal prosecution is of ‘beyond reasonable doubt’, with, of course, the help of case law such as Woolmington v DPP (1935). Moving on, we also consider the role a jury can and must play when deciding such cases as the one mentioned.
