Sure, it’s unjust that innocent people lose everything, but... every single day innocent people lose everything because of the legal system.
“Innocent until proven guilty” may be the best we have for a legal standard but it is far from perfect and applying it anywhere outside of the legal system is a mistake regardless of how you feel about innocent people losing their careers through the court of public opinion.
Outside of the legal system “innocent until proven guilty” is a very common cause of the revictimisation of victims.
- Vinnl 8y ago> Outside of the legal system “innocent until proven guilty” is a very common cause of the revictimisation of victims. Could you elaborate a bit on how that works? I'm not saying you should actively vocalise that you don't believe a victim, just that you shouldn't be piling on to someone or contributing to them losing everything if you don't know whether they're guilty and are otherwise unfamiliar with the victim.
