Innocent Until Proven Guilty
Reader comment on item: Terrorist Profs
Submitted by Ralph Winstanley (United States), Feb 24, 2003 at 12:15
Last I heard, a basic principle of our jurisprudence was that accused persons are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. I trust that is still the case, even in the midst of our "war on terrorism."
