Many quote the 'saying' - Innocent until proven guilty - but lots of guilty people get away with their crimes because there is insufficient evidence or witnesses are reluctant to testify or 'it's not in the public interest' to prosecute.

The Scottish verdict "Not Proven" (innocent but don't do it again) has some merit.

I will be interested to see the outcome of the Geoffrey Huhne case now that they have given him more than ample time to make up a good story.
