There's a reason the media always mentions the alleged in conjunction with a claimed crime. You know, the whole presumption of innocence thing that some consider important in a free society.
- kemayo 15y agoI understand that the media actually does that because if they don't they can get sued for libel if the person in question is in fact innocent. It's no great moral stand they're taking in applying the label. Also, I agree that the legal system and suchlike should presume innocence, but there's no reason private citizens can't advocate their believe that someone is guilty as sin.
