"Everyone is innocent unless proven otherwise"

- Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva

About this Quote

This quote by Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva speaks to the fundamental principle of justice that is preserved in lots of legal systems worldwide. It is a reminder that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. This means that the burden of evidence lies with the accuser, which the accused is not needed to show their innocence. This is an important principle in the pursuit of justice, as it guarantees that individuals are not wrongfully founded guilty of criminal activities they did not devote. It likewise serves to safeguard the rights of the implicated, as they are not assumed to be guilty until tested otherwise. This quote is a pointer that justice should be served relatively and that everyone needs to be offered the benefit of the doubt till their guilt is developed.
