It may not be pretty, but this is what "presumption of innocence" looks like.

Presumption of innocence till proven guilty (beyond a reasonable doubt) in a court of law.

Reasonable doubt doesn't mean shadow of a doubt. There was sexual contact. Two individuals admitted that there was. The only question is whether under Ohio law that she was able to consent. The individuals were found guilty, as I expected because that defense attorney (As shown in his strategy) did not have much to work with. Video and pictures tend to hamper this case which was quite open and shut.

Then why attempt a defense instead of the local equivalent of "no contest?"
