    There are a good number of people that actually take the whole “innocent until proven guilty in a court of law” thing all the way to its extreme. Even with glaringly obvious public evidence before that.

    It is the foundation of our justice system, as much as some groups are trying to tear it apart, even from within in some cases.

      Only the presumption of innocence by the court is important to our legal system. Anyone not part of the trial has no obligation to presume any defendant is innocent.
