a crime has been committed and that there is only probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. They are
presumed innocent throughout the proceedings and are entitled to be represented by counsel and entitled to a trial by
jury at which the State is obligated to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt before a judgment of guilt may be
made.
