Innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Not having an alibi doesn’t prove guilt. The burden of proof is on the prosecutor.

Not a law student, more an informal student of law lol. I am interested in law/politics on the side and want to see how people have encountered a niche topic of interest like just about every other of my posts haha

The business record exception to hearsay (ORS 40.460). I don’t generally use this rule, but when dealing with financial cases with a multitude of documents, it is very useful.

Learned about it at law school and work.
