The notion of torturing criminals is just as barbaric and immoral today as it was yesterday ...

Also: No person is obligated to maintain a suspect is 'alleged' to commit a crime, unless they themselves insist ...

Courts must assume innocence ....

Media outlets must assume innocence ....

Individuals, however, do not have to follow those precepts ... Once you have enough information to reach a personal conclusion: It's a done deal ..... WHO told you that individuals must wait in order to make their own decision ? .... What if the court reached an outrageous conclusion that you know to be untrue ? - Do you also accept innocence in the face of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary ? .... This is not how people tick, and it makes no sense .... You are free to make your own call ....
