Sigh, probable cause and criminal conviction are not the same . All that is required for pre trial detention is probable cause.
You don't know he's guilty until you look at the facts. That might happen in the context of a trial; it might happen in a different context.
It would be ridiculous to say that the facts of someone's guilt or innocence can only be examined in a trial or that trials are foolproof in determining guilt or innocence.
If you think that a person can't have concluded that Trump is guilty of a number of crimes without "political spin," then I suggest you reflect on the spin that's affecting your own viewpoint.
No, a trial is to determine, within the bounds of established procedure, whether a crime has been committed. There's no rule that says I'm only allowed to disapprove of someone's behaviour if it's criminal, and there's no rule that says I have to limit my opinion of a person to only things that were admissible in court.
Seems a strange position from someone who claims to be a cop... seeing how being a police officer involves detaining people - outright denying their freedom - before their guilt has been established in court.
Sigh, probable cause and conviction are not the same. Pre trial detention is based upon probable cause.
A criminal trial is to establish the truth. A trial will not occur if a crime has not been proven to have occurred, and that there is probable cause to believe the suspect committed the crime.
Pre trial hearings are for the purpose of establishing a crime and determining the possibility the suspect committed it.
What makes a fact, a fact ? What is the standard to say A) is a fact, B) is not ? Who decides what is factual, and what is not ?
No, your opinion of someone can be based upon their eye color or skin color, that is your right, but your opinion is worthless for determining truth, that is the whole point.
Your opinion objectively means absolutely nothing, it is based upon wrong, or unproven garbage.
Prove it by the standards of proof, or admit it is just your opinion based upon what you have read or heard.
