When someone charged with murder, pleads not guilty and then commits suicide before the verdict is given, would you consider that a proof of guilt or a vindication of that persons innocence?

I think it could be either. The prospect of life imprisonment could prompt someone to suicide whether they're guilty or not. As well, an innocent person might commit suicide because they're so depressed that people believed that they did it. However, someone who is guilty might commit suicide out of guilt or anger at being convicted.

More of vindication of that persons innocence because even if he had an ounce of guilt in him, he would have confessed to his crime and redeemed himself in the process.Since the person in question is innocent of any crime, he knows nothing much can be got out of pleading not guilty and thus decides to kill himself.

One reason is they could actual be innocuous of the prices, and who is going to plead accountable to at least some thing that they did not do. perchance, they have the skill to discover the money for a protection lawyer who actual believes that their client is innocuous of the prices adverse to them. Who has employed a criminal investigator to look into the case and ascertain if the defendant is telling the lawyer the fact about their innocence. there is exculpatory information, that the protection is going to modern in courtroom which will coach the defendant's innocence, or a witness who will exonerate the defendant. the different reason may be that the defendant feels that they're going to take their possibilities with a jury, which in effortless words takes one individual to vindicate the guy in a jury trial. that is likewise feasible that the guy is accountable and is depending on the courtroom gadget to vindicate them or they're hoping that someplace contained in the appeals procedure, the appellate courts will discover an blunders contained in the trial and both launch the guy or order an new trial for them. The longer that a defendant can proceed to be in county detention center and not in any respect be despatched to the state detention center they experience helps their threat at fending off detention center all mutually. they'd actual like the county detention center and recognize what's calling ahead to them upon their arrival on the state detention center. With maximum state prisons operating at one hundred% ppopulation and above, maximum new inmates to state detention center discover themselves snoozing in hallways and gyms, instead of the safe practices of a detention center cellular.

i would say it could be either. cuz they either know they are guilty and can't handle the guilt or they are innocent and think they are going to get found guilty and can't live with that.

Neither - I'd still want to look at the facts surrounding the murder.
