The reality is that no defendant would face trial unless somebody--the crime victim, the prosecutor, a police officer--believed that the defendant was guilty of a crime. After the government has presented enough evidence to constitute PROBABLE CAUSE to believe that the defendant has committed a crime, the accused need not be treated as if he or she was innocent of a crime, and the defendant may be jailed with the approval of the court.
