Criminal lawyers in East London
The standard of evidence required to validate a criminal conviction in South African criminal law is proof beyond a reasonable doubt. This places an extremely high onus on the State to prove guilt, however, should they succeed the consequences are severe. Criminal conviction usually results in extremely high sanctions and depending on the crime can have a minimum sentence imposed. The overall effect does not only prejudice the convicted person, but also their family members.
