Its generaly attributed to Sir William Garrow a British barrister who made the notion that people should be innocent until proven guilty in trial in 1791. before that the justice system was guilty until proven innocent, so the salem witch trials in 1692 would absolutely be under guilty until proven innocent and unfair trials like that are what changed people mind to mob justice where guilt is assumed not proven.
