Yes, I read of Shipman. He is indeed innocent unless proven guilty.
FWIW, saying that someone is innocent until proven guilty rubs me the wrong way. I've probably used that expression out of habit but I don't like it.
“FWIW, saying that someone is innocent until proven guilty rubs me the wrong way. I’ve probably used that expression out of habit but I don’t like it.”
Yes, force of habit compelled me to use it. What I mean is until he has a chance to face his accusers in court, he is innocent in my eyes. If I recall correctly, it was former employees that turned him in, which always makes me suspicious of the charges.
