inlawrev-21528	Tanoos, Ariana	Shielding the Presumption of Innocence from Pretrial Media Coverage	2017	26	.pdf	application/pdf	11951	758	62	10 The purpose of this Note is to advocate for courts and lawmakers to adopt methods to shield the presumption of innocence from the damaging effects of pretrial media coverage to balance the press’s First Amendment freedoms with the constitutional rights afforded criminal defendants by the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments. As Supreme Court jurisprudence relating to the presumption of96 innocence moved away from the Coffin opinion, protection of the presumption became increasingly relaxed and allowed the media more leeway to intrude on the rights of those accused of criminal offenses.97 To combat these effects, this Note argues that the Supreme Court should reinstate its holding in Coffin that the presumption of innocence is distinct and separate from the burden of proof, thereby reinforcing its importance as a substantive right of criminal defendants.	cache/inlawrev-21528.pdf	txt/inlawrev-21528.txt
