I hope VR loses. Badly. Because I'm tired of Guilty until proven Innocent attitudes.
i don't care what happens to PA otherwise, btw.
I Wonder when this thread will go poof.
Do you have difficulty grasping the concept of the presumption of innocence?
It’s a maxim that applies in one place only: a criminal court. It applies there because it is there that the state can impose the ultimate sanction on and individual, the deprivation of their liberty.
It applies literally nowhere else. Nowhere. Not in the street, not in the media, not in your home. Outside of a criminal court we are entirely free to decide whether we think someone is guilty.
It also, of course, does not apply in the civil forum in which this case has arisen.
I can’t really fathom how you can hope that someone who asserts they have been sexually abused as a child will fail in proving that assertion because you have not managed to grasp how this maxim works and in your ignorance feel affronted by it.
I am not sure what the term is for the junction of stupidity and lack of empathy but you’re standing on it.
