Reply To: Innocent until proven guilty

Joseph: I never said that a “perp walk” is coordinated with the alleged defendant. I disagreed with your comment that the press is notified “on the condition of anonymity”. The press is generally notified by the prosecutor/law enforcement agency about the arrest.

DaasYochid: You wrote: Okay, but according to current law, he didn’t commit a crime. That’s not a mere technicality.

That is not what the Federal Appeals court said. It stated that the conviction is overturned due the judge’s error in his instructions to the jury and if he did give the “correct” instructions then the jury may not have convicted him. It does not say it was not a crime. A very big difference.
