Is Saddam presumed "innocent" until proven guilty ? |
|
Edited on Tue Jun-29-04 08:07 AM by kentuck
Just curious since we have announced the new dictates for the new Iraqi government. Bush has pronounced democracy as the only way to achieve justice. We used to operate on the principle of presumed innocent until proven guilty in this country. I don't think that is necessarily true anymore. Does Saddam deserve better than Americans?
(edited per comment of Francis to add "presumed")

1. What does the provisional Iraqi constitution say about it? |
|
If he were in the US I would give it an unequivocal yes vote.

Does the Iraqi constitution allow for Roman Law or English Common Law?

Do they actually have laws? Courts? Or just firing squads?

11. He will appear before a judge and hear the charges against him |
|
Which are being drawn up today, as we speak. He will be permitted access to a lawyer, it is reported. Many are standing in line to defend him. However, I doubt that he will ever be permitted to run for "public" office...
