This is true. However, presumed innocent has always been a misnomer. With the media and the rush to judgment (either due to the heinous nature or the sensationalistic circumstances), even people I partially respect on this forum have been less than eager to support our president. It's like bitching about your stripper giving you a lapdance because she's a communist. Has Rod not been the catalyst for the USBGF? Has he done anything against backgammon? Yet, you look at the article and everyone is chiming in with " younger man, of course" and some disparaging comments about backgammon players as well cut/paste http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/strangle_suspect_went_for_stroll_DX88isr7pbCegk3MkA3sEN ...scroll to bottom. There is no presumption of innocence here or of these forums. I for one think Rod is a total tokidoki loving goofball, but refuse to believe he could do this and leave the body for his kids to find.
