While the police will only lay charges where the investigator believes, beyond reasonable doubt, that the person has committed the offence and that there is a reasonable prospect of conviction, it is important to remember that in the eyes of the Justice system, persons accused of an offence are presumed not guilty of the allegation(s) until the conclusion of the Judicial Proceeding at which time the Presiding Justice will make a determination of guilt based on the evidence that was presented during the Proceeding.
