Why do we need that when we already have it?
Because most Prosecutors in this Country are Political, morally bankrupt, ethically corrupt little Nazi’s that don’t give a rats ass about their fellow man or any presupposed rights granted by God and Protected by the Constitution.

We are innocent of crime unless found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt UNTIL the leftist euro weenies came to America and convinced American Lawyers to stautorily force people to justify what could be crime. It was unconstitutional, but so clever few took notice.

Some terms just need to be spelled out and handled in a different way for the libidiots!
