Does the presumption of innocence weigh against the proven beyond beyond reasonable doubt?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from K. D. K., In re, 269 Cal.App.2d 646, 75 Cal.Rptr. 136 (Cal. App. 1969):
Against the proof of guilt that satisfies beyond a reasonable doubt, the presumption of innocence does not weigh. In that sense it is not evidence; it is not an 'instrument of proof.' (People v. Moran, 144 Cal. 48, 59, 77 P. 777.)
