Make cases of historical sex crimes have to be proved beyond reasonable doubt
I am reading too many stories in the Prisoner paper "Inside Time" about elderly men being convicted of historical sex crimes with no evidence to support the conviction and with the defence having to "try" and prove innocense of a crime that may have been made up..
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
All crimes have to be proven beyond reasonable doubt. That is the standard of proof in all criminal trials in England and Wales. It's not clear what else you want the Government or Parliament to do.
