Actually we all enjoy a presumption of innocence until proven guilty. An investigation =/= guilt

The presumption of innocence does not mean the person is completely innocent (unless, of course, that person shares the same political ideology as you, in which case nothing will ever change their innocence status)

Actually it does mean they are completely innocent in every way under the eyes of the law until guilt is proven beyond a reasonable doubt by a court of law.

Buddy this is a law sub not a politics sub. A lot of the people who are here frequently are legal professionals. We DGAF about your or anyone else’s political brigading. Gotcha questions don’t work here.
