This is in direct violation of the 14th, and rightfully deserved to be challenged.

Coffin, were charged with aiding and abetting the former president of the Indianapolis National Bank, in bank fraud ("Coffin v. United States, 156 U.S. 432 (1895)"). All things considered, it is a very convoluted case with a total of 50 indictment counts. The 44th count stated: "The law presumes that persons charged with a crime are innocent until they are proven by competent evidence to be guilty." As a matter of fact, the 44th count was dismissed as inadequate by the lower court in its instruction to the jury.
