The presumption of innocence is not a social grace, it's a legal one.
You're making the same mistake lefties make about equality. I have no obligation to treat you equally except when it comes to enforcing the law for or against you.
I can and should presume his innocence or presume his guilt all I want in my daily life, which includes this forum. That's called free speech, free expression. It's healthy in a free republic. It's the law that can't presume his guilt, and civil proceedings that shouldn't, until proven otherwise.

I agree, however, I will follow this case on a daily basis as it goes to the corruption in the justice system at the federal and state level. It also goes to the corruption in the MSM.
LOL! Good post.
