  • You were today years old when you found out what innocent until proven guilty means. Not just as words, but as a concept. It means even the most obviously guilty person is given the presumption of innocence until they are actually convicted. Would you like to hear some ridiculous but technically possible arguments? Maybe it was his twin brother who drugged the kids. Maybe it was a random person who looks like him. Maybe it was a faked recording. Maybe he had a mental breakdown. None likely, obviously, but each are valid defenses that need to be eliminated to prove guilt. Unless you want to live in a different legal system where they believe it is better for an innocent person to go to jail as opposed to a guilty person sometimes going free.
