Dope1: You brought courts into this, so let's use a courtroom example to illustrate how the US media operates: Jim Beam is arrested for shoplifting a bottle of bourbon. In court instead of Innocent until proven guilty, what we would have is Jim Beam having to prove his innocence.
Jeebus, that's exactly backwards.
The prosecution has to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. They cannot go into court and say, "Hey, we don't actually have any evidence to prove our case but we think he's guilty, so, well, that should be good enough."
Good grief.
