It is much older than America:

en.wikipedia.org

And it makes sense, if you want to consider yourself "free", in any sense of the word. If you choose to go with "presumed guilty" you live at the whim of the justice system.

I am very aware of the rights and the practices go a democratic system. By your own admission you have been busy with other things and couple that with my not taking time to put it succinctly. And it results in miscommunication.

It started with you saying that we should wait to see the charges first and not rush to judgement first. In the same vein, if he hasn't done anything wrong then he has nothing to fear. He should wait to be charged and not bolt from his position and hire criminal lawyers.

But things do happen. The famous criminal lawyer John Edwards. We know where he started with his case and where he ended up.

Corizine is just not rich, but he is also very powerful due to his political connections. Bernie Madoff is not. So justice moved swiftly against Madoff. But Corizine's story has been different. Is it because he is former GS and the ring they have created?

Anyway, I am going to end this here. I realize that these exchanges have been hollow resulting in the hurling of personal insults. I am not interested in that.
