Overview
- Criminal law pertains to serious violations of the Legal Principle.
- Criminal violations generally entail more severe consequences that can include incarceration.
- Because the punishments are greater, so the evidence required must be more robust than for a civil case.
- We must use substantial procedural protections to avoid erroneous conclusions about the accused’d guilt.
- ‘It is better for ten guilty to go free than one innocent be wrongfully convicted.’
