The focus of Utah criminal law is the protection of individual constitutional rights. You are constitutionally innocent until proven guilty. There are constitutional provisions established in the Bill of Rights and additional amendments to the federal constitution as well as the Utah constitution that guarantee Due Process in the Justice system. It is important that an individual involved in the justice system under stand these rights.

When an individual is involved in a criminal matter, the facts are not clear cut, which is why a Utah criminal attorney is so important. A crime is only a crime because the legislature enacts a statute clearly stating that it is a crime. The statute is very important. You are only guilty if the facts of your case meet or comply with the statute. often the crime that an individual is charged with does not exactly meet the language of the statute. An aggressive Utah criminal defense attorney helps to eliminate these inaccuracies.

The focus of the Utah adult criminal system is to provide justice while protecting individual rights and the expectations of safety for society. The state, county, or city will have a prosecutor with resources to protect society. It is important that the defendant or individual being charged with a crime have an attorney who can protect his or her constitution rights. The founders of our country considered this in drafting the constitution and the Bill of Rights.
