Nobody said he didn't. I'm not saying Rudolph didn't do the things he is suspected of, but that there are other possibilities. People on this forum are convicting him before he even goes to trial! Is this America or not? Does the Bill or Rights exist? Does he not receive a fair trial? Oh, the FBI says he did it, so he MUST be guilty. After all, they NEVER make mistakes, do they?

People here aren't the prosecutors, hence, they can't convict anyone of anything. I'm sure you always use "alleged" when referring to the "alleged" crimes of Bin Laden?

If you spend much time at all on here you will see that anyone who is charged of a crime that hits news get's charged as guilty or innocent by Freepers before trial. That is where debate comes in. It's fun to politely debate the issue for and against a person until the actual trial takes place and we see the result. No one is forced to participate int he debates and everyone is allowed to have an opinion on guilty/notguilty judging by what they've read. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that since there is little chance the jury is going to consult this forum when making their guilty/nonguilty judgement.

Long story short: we aren't the judge or jury so we can call him guilty or innocent as much as we want and defend it which whatever we can.
