Smokey Mountain the vast garbage dump in Manila has served for many years as an emblem of third world squalor In many ways it is a metaphor for a planet slowly choking on garbage and waste But for Fr Beltran who served for three decades as a chaplain to the scavengers who survive off this reeking heap it is also a metaphor of hope an emblem of the will to survive the ability to create joy and find meaning even in the midst of abject poverty Faith and Struggle on Smokey Mountain describes the spiritual resilience of the scavengers of Smokey Mountain and how they taught Beltran to read the Gospel with new eyes The lessons he learned bear a message for all who struggle for a better world

Explore tips, opinions, and features on Presumption of Innocence in Peril sold at 106.87 $ ; this product is listed in the Books & Magazines category, produced by , and sold by Abebooks.com.
This book explains the historical significance and introduction of the presumption of innocence into common law legal systems It explains that the presumption should be seen as reflecting notions of moral comfort around judgment of others Specifically when one is asked to make a judgment about the guilt or otherwise of a person accused of wrongdoing the default position should be to do nothing This reflects the very serious consequences of what we do when we decide someone is guilty of wrongdoing and is not a step to be taken lightly Traditionally decision makers have only taken it when they are morally comfortable with that decision It then documents how legislators in a range of common law jurisdictions have undermined the presumption of innocence through measures such as reverse onus provisions allowing or requiring inferences to be made against an accused redefining offenses and defenses in novel ways to minimize the burden on the prosecutor and by dressing proceedings as civil when they are in substance criminal Courts have too easily acceded to such measures in the process permitting accused persons to be convicted although there is reasonable doubt as to their guilt and where they are not guilty of sufficiently blameworthy conduct to attract criminal sanction It finds that the courts must be prepared to reassert the prime importance of the presumption of innocence only permitting criminal sanctions to be imposed where they are morally certain that the accused did that of which they have been accused and morally comfortable that the conduct being addressed is worthy of the kind of criminal sanction which prosecutors seek to impose Courts must be morally comfortable about the finding of guilt and the imposition of the criminal penalty in a given case They have lost sight of this moral underpinning to criminal law process and substance and it must be regained
