Guilty Until Proven Innocent ??

HISTORIC

HIGH COURT

DECISION. 

On Wednesday, February 4^th.2009 the High Court re-established English Law into the Hunting Act 2004. 

Whether you support hunting or are opposed to it is immaterial, this is a vitally important decision on how judgements are made in our courts of law. 

When the Hunting Act was framed, it was done in the European way, that anyone brought before the court was presumed guilty, until he or she proved their innocence. 

From the days of Magna Carta, reliable, common sense English Law required the prosecution,i.e. the Crown Prosecution Service or any other body to prove that the accused was guilty. 

Sir Anthony May and Mr Justice Maddison on conclusion of the hearing, soundly defended English Law and found the case not proven.   

Popular Alliance will defend to the last, everyone’s right to trial by jury, and proof of guilt must be made by the prosecution. This right is sacrosanct under Magna Carta and our Bill or Rights 1689.
