7 QUOTES WITH «THE ACCUSED»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word the accused.
1
Freda Adler
Rape is the only crime in which the victim becomes the accused.
2
Bob Barr
The legal principle placing the burden of proof on accusers rather than the accused can be traced back to Second and Third Century Roman jurist, Julius Paulus Prudentissimus. Yet, this ancient concept, which forms the legal and moral cornerstone of the American judicial system, is quickly being undermined in the name of 'national security.'
3
Harry Browne
A fair trial is one in which the rules of evidence are honored, the accused has competent counsel, and the judge enforces the proper courtroom procedures - a trial in which every assumption can be challenged.
4
Johnnie Cochran
Money will determine whether the accused goes to prison or walks out of the courtroom a free man.
5
Jonathan King
It's not fair that the accused is not protected from adverse publicity whilst the accuser is guaranteed anonymity, whatever the verdict.
6
Lionel Trilling
Every neurosis is a primitive form of legal proceeding in which the accused carries on the prosecution, imposes judgment and executes the sentence: all to the end that someone else should not perform the same process.
7
Jane Velez-Mitchell
How is justice served if the victim and the accused are working together to make it all go away? Somebody please explain that to me.
