There is no relation as they do not correlate to one another. A 'presumption of innocence' is required of a judge and/or jury when trying a criminal matter. Whereas, 'negligence' is an action (or lack thereof), or state of mind, which must be proven during a civil matter or tort action seeking damages.
The presumption of innocence was first formulated in Roman law. In the 6th century, the Justinian Digest (a compendium of Roman law) stated it as: Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat, which means: "Proof lies on him who asserts, not on him who denies".
