APARIȚIA ȘI EVOLUȚIA PREZUMȚIEI DE NEVINOVĂȚIE ÎN PROCESUL PENAL

Abstract

The elaboration and study of the theoretical and practical aspects of the presumption of innocence cannot be recognized, at the current stage, as completed. The subject of the presumption of innocence has been researched by many scholars - historians, political scientists, sociologists, philosophers, etc., having received special attention in the second half of the nineteenth century. At the moment we are facing multiple contestable and unresolved questions related to the presumption of innocence, its formulation, the content and legal consequences of its non-compliance, the spread and specific features of the application of this principle of criminal trial, etc. The objective and efficient solution of these issues involves the study of the genesis and historical evolution of the presumption of innocence. These circumstances, as well as the need to improve the presumption of innocence in the conditions of the application of the criminal procedure legislation at the moment have determined the choice of this subject of scientific research.
