Innocent until proven guilty? Or does it not work like this? Will it be assumed he was guilty unless he can jusity and prove otherwise?
Where the fuck are the smilies gone
ANYWAY
Totally agree with this
If it was the other way round it would be down to the police to prove he was lying and killed someone, BUT it wouldnt go to court unless they thought they could prove he DID do it, so in reverse surely it down to the police to now go away and prove he is lying and charge him with murder ? IF they CANNOT do this then no charges should be brought and no need for a court case, where no doubt in this day and age with so much info stored on us all, then I bet that somewhere it would / will be recorded that he was "charged" with at least manslaughter, and in certain jobs and checks that may be enough to go against you / him.
BENNI, a while back someone on here made a comment about shitting on/ burning etc the flowers left for a dead joyrider (who i think killed some inocent pedestrians as well, but may be wrong) and the site was in uproar that you musnt think like that but must think of the dead joyriders family !
PERSONALY in circumstances like that one and this one to, I totally agree with you, as in my eyes the way these people behave and what they do (that has ultimately caused ther and others deaths) iis dependent on how they were raised, so the family can suffer !!!
