What ever happened to "Innocent until proven guilty"??

52. Your diatribe doesn't change the legal definition of presumed innocence

I understand full well how the public can presume people like Richard Jewell guilty and cause lots of damage. I've read , "To Kill a Mockingbird," a book written precisely on that subject. I think the
New York Post should be sued for publishing the pics of those other two men who had nothing to do with it. I also live in Illinois, where multiple death row inmates were given new trials due to shoddy trials.

I was just explaining the fact that presumption of innocence exists ONLY in the courtroom, like it or not. And these two pricks were apparently videotaped carjacking someone and placing a bomb, and shot/threw bombs at cops. The younger brother is entitled to a fair trial, but nothing legal or otherwise says anyone is required to presume him innocent outside a courtroom.

And... your presumption that I'm guilty of not caring about justice and fairness, and that I would have to watch your suggested movie assignment multiple times for your supposed infinite wisdom to "sink in" was WRONG. I suppose it's horrific for me to presume you an obnoxious, self-righteous asshat based solely on your post, but I do.
