29. Stop convicting people over mere allegations

Thu Apr 30, 2020, 04:20 PM

Apr 2020

I am for universally being impartial ON ALL allegations of crimes sex or not against people.

So, in this instance, politics gets involved and people aren’t partial at all.

I wasn’t for convicting Kavanagh, or other politicians Dem or GOP who are merely accused.

Either an investigation or hearing should be done in cases like this or they should be forgotten about since they can’t be proven one way or the other.

The lady didn’t go to the police at the time nor did she even report it to her own office.

We need to stop convicting people over mere allegations universally, in this case, and all others.
