You forgot, it is the seriousness of the charge that matters also
Anything goes as long as it advances the narrative/
“The seriousness of the charge”
Is such a joke.
Our justice system does not work that way. Well it shouldn’t, but these days it does.
There is no longer “presumed innocent of all charges until proven guilty in a court of law.”
It’s “presumed guilty of all charges and acquire a conviction by any means necessary whether innocent or guilty.”
