The Australia Justice system has evolved on the principle that it’s always better for a guilty person to remain free, than for an innocent person jailed.

In the Australian criminal court system in order for someone to be found guilty, the prosecution must prove to the satisfaction of the court that the accused is guilty and committed the offence and that this is beyond a reasonable doubt. All accused in Australia are presumed innocent until proven guilty and an accused person is always given the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.
