Here's the disturbing comment found on that website, "… there is no constitutional right to the presumption of innocence."

That's the constitution of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

That's the constitution of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Also, "presumed guilty until proven innocent" is the basis of France's Napoleonic Code.

Works great for those in power to maintain "order"; not so great for dispensing actual justice.
