Ce qui est qualifié de présumé [...] découle d’une présomption légale ou légitime – née d’une preuve, d’un acte instrumentaire, d’un aveu, d’une situation factuelle, d’une circonstance aggravante, d’un fait notoire, d’une théorie admise, d’un indice ou d’une contestation ressortant d’une enquête, d’un serment – que l’on peut, certes, combattre par une preuve contraire, mais qui permet au juge de procéder à des inductions ou de former sa conviction. [...] Celui qui est présumé innocent ou présumé coupable est censé tel; on suppose que son innocence est reconnue par l’effet des choses; la culpabilité de l’accusé est donnée comme probable. 2, record 1, French, - pr%C3%A9sum%C3%A9
