Opinion | Cato podcast on Nelson v. Colorado and the presumption of innocence

Just FYI, in yesterday’s Cato Daily Podcast I talk with Caleb Brown about the upcoming Nelson v. Colorado case in the Supreme Court (oral argument is set for Jan. 9).  It’s a pretty fascinating case – and, for those of a libertarian turn of mind, a true outrage.  Colorado requires people who have had their criminal convictions overturned and vacated to prove, by “clear and convincing evidence,” that they were actually innocent of the crime with which they were charged before the state will refund money that they had been required to pay (fees, restitution, costs) as a result of their earlier conviction.
