34. So your complaint is that information was not released to the public fast enough? And again

"innocent until proven guilty" is in a court of law. Have you ever done something wrong, are you guilty of anything? I am guilty of lying to my parents when I was a teenager, but never went to court, a trial. That is MY point. There is a difference between being guilty of something and being guilty in a court of law.

Regarding the speed at which the photos were released, I'd rather they be careful and release ones that were clear and correct than ones that were not the right guy(s) or blurry. Accuracy when getting the public involved is very important.
