Are there any English judges here? There is a howler in the document “The Judicial System of England and Wales” (2016, but still on the website). It is NOT true that in the civil law “defendants … are considered guilty until proven innocent”. What ignorant nonsense!
Not sure I understand the distinction. They are both pre-conviction (and pre-sentence). I would think all pardons before conviction (and sentencing) are hard to make sense of. Is there case law?
What did Hans say? Was he shocked? Please continue the story for four years.
How can you pardon someone who has not been convicted? Makes no logical sense. Is it lawful?
The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?

I have not read it but I do not want to. Hart said what he wanted to say, in a long and fruitful life. What is the point of publishing papers that he did not himself choose to publish?
