A #Judge must not be affected by #MessiahComplex and stay within his role as a judge & must not wade into the role of #prosecution. It's against the #TrichotomyOfPowers. It's also a dent for the #adversarial legal system. 1/6
It is neither duty nor domain of the #judge but the duty of #prosecution to prove their case beyond any reasonable shadow of doubt. A Judge is not a prosecutor. 2/6
The set of scales in the hands of blindfolded #LadyJustice needs to bend on the side of stronger evidence.👨⚖️⚖️
A Judge must act in the same manner as if he doesn't know anything happened prior to the trial, at that point in time.👨⚖️⚖️ 3/6
Even if the judge himself has witnessed the offense, he can't convict someone. It's breach of #FairTrail if a judge makes conviction on the basis of his own senses. He must not adjudicate upon such a case and should appear as a witness instead and prove his testimony. 4/6
On the top of all, an accused is the most favorite child of law and every benefit of the doubt goes to him regardless of the facts whether he has taken any such pleas or not. 5/6
Moreover, the rule of lenity requires a judge to be lenient to apply any unclear or ambiguous law in the manner that is most favorable to the defendant. 6/6
