Yeah it’s legalize gymnastics. Only when convicted can you pin their crime.
Beforehand, they are the alleged killer. Even if they were found at the scene with a gun in their hand, till the jury renders the verdict, they are only alleged to be the killer.
You say it like it’s a bad thing, personally I prefer the innocent until proven guilty approach
I think it’s more a case by case. In this case, there was sooooo much clear evidence. Like indisputable.
But generally, no I fully agree. Imagine some random lunatic says you raped his daughter. Even in our current climate you’d be kinda fucked but if news was allowed to report like you just plain did it, trial or evidence be damned… awww jeeezzz.
I could just see something like the defendent somehow getting a guards gun and shooting a jury member.
The next day they are in court, 1 dead juror missing, and telling the jurors he allegedly shot at them.
I know that wouldn't happen, but would be funny (ignoring the whole murder part)
