I don't understand justice and liberty? Tell that to two dead girls and their families....

So everyone is a suspect until they come in and prove their innocence?

Do you read what you write?

That's the way law was practiced in Europe for a long time - the state makes an accusation against someone and if they can't prove their innocence they are guilty. The burden of proof is entirely on the accused, and not the prosecution. A very handy tool for dictators and totalitarian kings. Russia filled up the gulags with this little trick.

Did you read what was written? Nothing written said or even implied that everyone was guilty until they prove their innocence. You are putting up a strawman then arguing against it.
