    You are owed a day in court and all due process before the government punishes you.

    You aren’t owed an unlimed presumption of innocence by the general public who can and do read and come to reasonable conclusions in their own time.

    Everyone knew that the Menendez brothers did it before the trial and everyone knew OJ did it after the trial even before he wrote a book about how he did it entitled “if I did it”

    It’s weird that you can’t distinguish between what you are owed morally in the court of public opinion and what you are owed legally in criminal court.
