Just too damn bad the other inmates weren’t successful in killing him. They tried but were stopped too soon. That would have been close to justice for him to have been beaten to death by the inmates in jail.
Innocent until proven guilty, sure.
One word missing that changes everything;
Presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Everyone knows he's guilty as hell. So he's kept in lockup until trial. Then convicted. Then hung. Hopefully.
Personally, I say skip the expense. Gimme a pistol or a 8" blade and let's reconvene on the lawn behind the courthouse.
