This is exactly what you do its innocent until proven guilty the amount of publicly available evidence proves their guilt.
- gattilorenz 7y agoInnocent until proven guilty means that there has to be a trial, not simply "evidence". The role of the prosecutor is to prove someone guilty, and unless they do so, the person is innocent. I know this is, in day-to-day parlance, irrelevant. We see the amount of evidence, we form an opinion in our mind. It's not that I think Stadler never knew anything. But this being HN, the discussion could be a bit more elevated than in a pub :) Plus, "presumption of innocence" is a legal term, I think it is worth discussing it with a "lawful" mindset.
