Virtually Free From Punishment Until Proven Guilty: The Internet, Web-Cameras and the Compelling Necessity Standard

Authors

Abstract

Few legal maxims have had greater resonance than the tenet that one is innocent until proven guilty. It is a principle that has been traced back to Roman times, and it entered the American legal lexicon through the United States Supreme Court decision Coffin v. United States. It has even been incorporated in the United Nations’1948 Declaration of Human Rights under article eleven, section one.4
