A prudent lawyer ought to have Article 28 of the Constitution at the back of his head; thus every one is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Under this issue, one looks at the offences disclosed by the facts on the face of it for example; Murder contrary to Section 188 and 189 of the Penal Code Act Cap 120, Aggravated robbery contrary to section 286(2) of the Penal Code Act Cap 120. Discussion of issue two: Under this issue, one seeks to concretize on the possible offences disclosed.
