The American legal system is built on a foundation of basic assumptions: one being that defendants receive a fair trial, and a second being that they are presumed innocent until proven guilty during that trial. However, much of the current research on mock jurors has assumed that the questions asked during jury selection (voir dire) accurately detect problematic biases and exclude those jurors from service. The current study directly tested this assumption with jury-eligible community members, asking whether the presumption of innocence holds based on the little information that potential jurors receive regarding a case during voir dire (e.g., the crime charged and the names of the defendant and victim) and without specific instructions regarding the assumption, which are usually given just prior to the beginning of the trial. To target potential biases based on stereotype while allowing for meaningful interpretation of the results, only the crime (rape or homicide) and the stereotyped name (targeting reactions based on race [Black or white] and gender [male or female]) of the defendant were manipulated. Results were conflictual, but generally indicated no differences in mock juror assessment of legal and factual innocence, or confidence in their assessment, based on the information provided. However, though mock jurors generally endorsed an understanding of the presumption of innocence in which the defendant should be assessed to be 100% innocent of the charged crime, juror assessments of legal and factual innocence reflected greater ambiguity towards defendant innocence - largely placing their assessment of innocence at 50%. These results contradict some of the earlier research on the subject and support the need for additional and more nuanced research into the impact of early juror biases on ultimate legal outcomes in criminal cases.

This book explains the historical significance and introduction of the presumption of innocence into common law legal systems. It explains that the presumption should be seen as reflecting notions of moral comfort around judgment of others. Specifically, when one is asked to make a judgment about the guilt or otherwise of a person accused of wrongdoing, the default position should be to do nothing. This reflects the very serious consequences of what we do when we decide someone is guilty of wrongdoing and is not a step to be taken lightly. Traditionally, decision makers have only taken it when they are morally comfortable with that decision. It then documents how legislators in a range of common law jurisdictions have undermined the presumption of innocence, through measures such as reverse onus provisions, allowing or requiring inferences to be made against an accused, redefining offenses and defenses in novel ways to minimize the burden on the prosecutor, and by dressing proceedings as civil when they are in substance criminal. Courts have too easily acceded to such measures, in the process permitting accused persons to be convicted although there is reasonable doubt as to their guilt, and where they are not guilty of sufficiently blameworthy conduct to attract criminal sanction. It finds that the courts must be prepared to re-assert the prime importance of the presumption of innocence, only permitting criminal sanctions to be imposed where they are morally certain that the accused did that of which they have been accused, and morally comfortable that the conduct being addressed is worthy of the kind of criminal sanction which prosecutors seek to impose. Courts must be morally comfortable about the finding of guilt, and the imposition of the criminal penalty in a given case. They have lost sight of this moral underpinning to criminal law process and substance, and it must be regained.

The right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty has been described as the 'golden thread' running through the web of English criminal law and a "fundamental postulate" of Irish criminal law which enjoys constitutional protection. Reflecting on the bail laws in the O'Callaghan case, Walsh J. described the presumption as a 'very real thing and not simply a procedural rule taking effect only at the trial'. The purpose of this book is to consider whether the reality matches the rhetoric surrounding this central precept of our criminal law and to consider its efficacy in the light of recent or proposed legislative innovations. Considerable space is devoted to the anti-crime package introduced by the government in the period of heightened concern about crime which followed the murder of journalist Veronica Guerin. Described by the Bar Council as "the most radical single package of alterations to Irish criminal law and procedure ever put together, " the effect of the package was an amendment of the bail laws and the introduction of preventative detention; a curtailment of the right to silence for those charged with serious drugs offences and the introduction of a novel civil forfeiture process to facilitate the seizure of the proceeds of crime, a development which arguably circumvents the presumption. Given these developments, the question posed in the book is whether we can lay claim to a presumption that is more than merely theoretical or illusory.
