[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 225090, member: 2189"] Nice Job Diesel! Innocent Until Proven Guilty? Yep, it's a hallmark of our justice system but let me put it this way. You've got kids and you have a neighbor who seems nice enough, is a pretty good neighbor and is even good to and around your kids. So much so that your kids play in the neighbor's yard and he even horses around with them from time to time looking for that momentary foundation of youth we look for when acting the kid again. Aches and pains generally bring us back to reality! :lol: Everything seems all "Leave It To Beaver" when one day the cops show up and haul this guy off and on the evening news you see his mugshot and the list of child molestation charges being read off. Via his attorney, he adamantly defends his innocence and then he's released on bond to return home. Do you still hold that "innocent till proven guilty" stance and let your kids do the same routine as they once did? Is any and all doubt erased from your mind and you have no second thoughts about risking your kids on the premise that someone is innocent till proven guilty? In principle, I want to agree with your opinion but we have the luxury of sitting afar and making judgement. It's another thing when you find yourself in the middle of it. Even after OJ was found innocent, would you want your family to be around this guy? Innocent until proven guilty is a requirement on the courts and if you become a jurist you must take that mindset until the gov't proves it's case beyond reasonable doubt. At this time I'm under none of these conditions and therefore I believe in Vick's case where there is so much smoke that there is bound to be at least some fire. [/QUOTE]
