Criminal charges are merely allegations that a defendant has committed violations of the
criminal law, and as such they are not evidence of guilt. All defendants have a
presumption of innocence and are entitled to a fair trial, during which it will be the
burden of the State of New York to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
