For the life of me, I cannot understand why some people seem to feel that MK's story must be protected at all costs.

It is our institutions that need protection. The Smarts should be given the benefit of a presumption of innocence. Law Enforcement should be looked upon as purveyors of truth. While we know that LE could be misleading the public in order to catch a criminal it is also possible that all we have been told is true.

"It is our institutions that need protection. The Smarts should be given the benefit of a presumption of innocence."

Presumption of innocence and questioning the testimony of an alleged eye witness to a crime are two entirely different issues, sandude.

BTW, what are the "institutions" that need protection?
