Cesare Beccaria quoteCesare Beccaria [1738-1794] Italian Judge
Quote rank: 122



No man can be judged a criminal until he is found guilty; nor can society take from him the public protection until it has been proved that he has violated the conditions on which it was granted. What right, then, but that of power, can authorize the punishment of a citizen so long as there remains any doubt of his guilt?
