(23,946 posts)"Golden Thread" of criminal law, innocent until proven guilty in a court of law? According to the admissible evidence? Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is the same as instant judgment via the media! Really?
Due process? Rule of law? These have so little meaning to ordinary folks, playing ordinary folks ordinary public opinion games, I know, but at DU, far too many.
And because the statue of limitations is over, which is another law folks fail to understand, then the curt of public opinion has jurisdiction. Really?
Fascists will love you, liberal you are not.
This reminds me of the Ebola fear mongering, even folks at DU were on the side of.....get this....Cruz and Palin.
Sad.
This is all so enter stowing for armchair commentators, but a man is being ruinined by rumour and innuedo and liberals cheer...unreal.
By the way the criminal law does not recognize quantity of charges as proving any of the charges, again you will need to go to law school specializing in criminal law and procedure, sexual offences specialization, to pick that up.
Or you could go to Kangaroo Law School and set up your Kangaroo Court rules of evidence and standard of proof.......for entertainment purposes only, please.
And yes, fucking is not guilty in the eyes of the law. Innocence is another matter, innocence is not a legal ruling. Not guilty just means not proven, it does not mean innocence. Again, Criminal Law 101.
