I know ill regret this but,
Guilty, youve done something wrong.
Innocent youve done nothing wrong.
Guilty must be proven, in this country your innocent until proven guilty, there are no half ways in this, and this is where many stuff up and forget the laws of the land.
Take this rape thing going on in the last few weeks, many ASSUME he is guilty and want blood, committees meetings to make out and guess his fit for his role, the police, the department responsible for investigating and determining fault or guilt then trying and proving the allegation have said there is no case to answer, after 33 years you would have thought there was enough time to determine and prosecute, but no allegation, complaint was made, and now after the death of the suposed victim, a witch hunt occurs, were the integrity and livlihood of the accused is jeperdised, perhaps for ever, is instigated by people with no hope,knowledge, or careing of the truth, just vindictivness.
Its wrong that stigma lingers and sometimes never leaves.
And people suffer.
Opinions have nothing to do with the law, with actual guilt or innocence.
Its innocent until proven, not until opinion crucifise you.
Eg, a female cries foul, immediately and in most cases, the accused is guilty and has to prove innocense, and the stigma almost never leaves, this is totally wrong.
This is similar to what sam is going through, even though he is innocent,many still are debating about it. I wish it would just stop!
Sorry to bore u all.
I am not reading past the second sentence - who has done nothing wrong, by your own words - who has done nothing wrong - thats how the law works - we are talking the law.
A judge would say your 'not guilty of ' or he may 'unable to prove' etc. A judge will never say you are innocent because not one person is innocent (excepting infants, new born).
Sam Burgess is not guilty of the charges leveled against him by his ex wife and father in law.
