The man was found not guilty was he not? That’s what the courts are for. And the accusation apparently had enough for police to go after him...which they rightly should have.
Innocent people aren’t cast into the cold and abandoned by their community unless they choose to believe the courts determined wrongfully. You cannot dictate what people choose or not to believe.
Secondly, the man's life and reputation are ruined for good
Thirdly, at what point do we just go on verbal accusation and not on proof?
you said Innocent people aren’t cast into the cold and abandoned by their community -- well, the Wisconsin man WAS innocent and abandoned by the community. it was only that he had GPS that saved him from jail. Communities toss the guy into the cold with no support
it's a contradiction of innocent until proven guilty.
If there is proof, fry the guy, I agree. But if it is just verbal accusations, if we just made a show about the man, you ruin his reputation for life.
come on, don't you think that the man's reputation is now tarnished irreparably? People will always put "child molestor" connected to that man even though the evidence proves that it was a false accusation (and the girl later withdrew it) -- how many of these false accusations are bandied about?
As I said above - if the evidence points that way and he is proven guilty, fry him. If there is just hearsay or verbal accusations, investigate, but remember that the man's reputation, indeed his life (which is tied to his reputation) is in balance.
