Wrong! Presumption of innocence is a legal concept, applicable in Court. Legal presumption of innocence will protect the right to a fair trial where a defendant is presumed innocent in the eyes of the Law, and must be proven guilty.
It doesn’t prevent non-jurors from discussion, or coming to their own conclusions based on reasoning and common sense.

Correct and what is a fact is that we don’t know everything about this case. So a wise man would reserve judgement. Remember Gary Condit? How many of us had him convicted of the Chandra Levy murder?

Also you may have issues with libel and slander if you claim he raped her and he didn’t. Realistically not a real issue here on a forum, but can be if done outside this forum or if the person posting the comment has “clout”.
