Ah yes the classic presumption of guilt, a keystone of justice

I'm not sure how to break this to you but this is just an internet forum, not a court of law

The reason courts use it is because they value having true opinions. But you're welcome to not value that indeed

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

The reason courts have rules of how convinced one must be to declare guilt is because they dread punishing an innocent over allowing a guilty person free

We aren't in a position to hurt the probably guilty party so it doesn't matter a bit of we jump to conclusions unfairly
