"No. The case was dismissed." doesn't mean he's not a pedophile, unless you think there are no pedophiles except convicted ones

The case was dismissed under dubious circumstances, and the dismissal CERTAINLY does not suggest innocence (an ADA got fired over the handling of the case). Essentially, the judge agreed to dismiss the case six months hence if Ritter didn't get caught going after young girls again. ======================== The Daily Gazette reports Albany District Attorney Paul Clyne fired veteran Assistant District Attorney Cynthia Preiser last week when he finally learned of the matter. "I was shocked and angered to learn that the case had been disposed of by one of my assistant district attorneys without consulting me," Clyne told the paper. "Any arguably sensitive case should be brought to my attention." Sources told the Gazette that Ritter's attorney and a town court judge agreed to adjourn the matter in contemplation of a dismissal. That generally means the case is on hold for six months, and if the defendant doesn't get into trouble, the case is usually dismissed and the record sealed. The adjournment means neither an admission of guilt or innocence. ========================
