*The filing of criminal charges is not evidence of guilt but simply a description of the charge made by the Commonwealth against a Defendant. A Defendant charged with a crime is presumed innocent until a jury returns a unanimous finding that the Commonwealth has proven the Defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt or until the Defendant enters a guilty plea to the charges.*
