In Response To: Off Topic: innocent unless proven guilty (scottbaxter)

There have been a lot of people convicted in the press without a trial.
It bothers me a lot.

Many will end up proven guilty, but I thought our system said "INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY"

There are also too many people getting off death row after 10's of years to not get concerned about the lynch mob mentality.

In very minor way, I was once railroaded while in the Navy. Luckily I could absolutely prove I was innocent. I would have been digging ditches for the rest of my life without that proof.
