When your attorney says the police have not implicated you, that's not the same as the police saying they have exonerated you.
When the cops are out to screw with you, this is the equivalent of a formal declaration of sainthood.
It means they can’t even dream up something to charge you with.
“When your attorney says the police have not implicated you, that’s not the same as the police saying they have exonerated you.”
Of course, you are technically correct, but don’t you agree that things are definitely looking up for Cadet King’s lawsuit against LaBelle and her goons?
Under our Constitution, every American is innocent until proven guilty.
I am currently not implicated in any of hundreds of crimes that have recently been committed in the towns and cities I live near. If my attorney were to be asked, he would say that the police have not found any evidence implicating me in any of them.
I guess someone who plays with words, like you, could say I'm a suspect in every one of those crimes, because although the police haven't found any evidence implicating me, they also haven't yet released a statement exonerating me.
You're conflating the USA and the old Soviet Union.
