The presumption of innocence is the legal principle that one is considered "innocent until proven guilty". In many countries, the presumption of innocence is a legal right of the accused in a criminal trial, and it is an international human right under the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 11.
"You're guilty until proven innocent, Perception is reality. Thats just the way the world is." -Chris Webber

Diallo is poor but gifted with the ability to tell great lies. After a bad afternoon with his friend Paul in which he nearly ends up in jail, the pair rely on fate to change their lives.
"Let's play it with a coin!" He says. "Flip a coin. Face: our stories are put on Wattpad; tail: you'll be in jail by the age of twenty one. At the same age, I'll most likely die of an overdose." Paul then pulls his car over at a green light and looks me right in the eyes.
"Do you dare?"
