Everyone knows just being in court or charged creates in the minds of most every juror a presumption of some sort of guilt. Whether it is of association or actual. Our CJ system may make high minded statements of this and that, but the fact is.... now what the defense must do is put on a very compelling case to win. To that I say good luck. Everyone hates crime, and criminals by implication. Additionally, most would not prefer to elevate form over substance. If in court, something is wrong with this person. That mind set starts the show. If defense attorney wants to start the game a field goal, or as much as three touchdowns behind, could be a difficult win. So Solly, that's just life. It sure as hell doesn't really take into consideration fairness for the most part. Its all just lip service. Now quit acting surprised. JD Presumed innocent until proven guilty is a farce.
