Society employs the same methods of self-protection the world over.

No one presumes a person charged with crime to be innocent, either in Delhi, Pekin, Moscow, or New York.

Under proper circumstances we believe him guilty.

When he comes to be tried the jury consider the evidence, and if they are reasonably sure he is guilty they convict him.

The doctrine of reasonable doubt is almost as much of a fiction as that of the presumption of innocence.
