I didn't know you were specifically talking about the guy who shot himself.

As to the other guys, if one of them shows up at the house and admits to writing the stuff that's in the online transcript, that's a confession. Also, the STATE may have to 'maintain a presumption of innocence', but YOU don't. Are YOU the state? If you're not the state, then you're allowed to have your own thoughts independent of the state. Any defending of a pedophile makes you look very bad.

I think I have written sufficient disclaimers in this article. But if you need another, here you go.

I loathe pedophiles. I think they should be, upon conviction, punished severely.

However, I think conviction should occur before punishment. Dateline is acting in concert with the police, as an agent of the police, and is imposing punishment prior to conviction. This is a problem.
