Your point is well taken, but am I the only person on Free Republic who thinks we might wait until at least a preliminary hearing before passing judgment on the people involved? Geez!
I think part of the “rush to judgment” is that folks are reacting to an apparent decade-old cover-up. Along with that might be a feeling “the good old boys network” could leave the child molester AND his enablers untouchable even in the criminal justice system. How will they find a jury? Query them on their allegiances to college teams?
