A great lawyer Dean Strang once said: “The state is supposed to start every case swimming upstream. And the strong current against which the state is supposed to be swimming is the presumption of innocence.”

“Why is
@lawyergriffin
breaking prison rules to promote his client, where’s the accountability?” Q on our YouTube.
A: No rule was broken and every person even if convicted of a crime has a 1st amendment right. Upholding that right carries praise, not accountability.

The presumption of innocence is not just a legal concept. In commonplace terms, it rests on that generosity of spirit which assumes the best, not the worst, of the stranger.

The absence of evidence is just as much evidence as is the presence of evidence. It often matters when it comes to items that state should have but don’t have, destroyed, discarded, failed to collect etc.

Dear Geniuses: what was read in the documentary is not an interview. Rule not broken. Case closed. If you really need to put a label on it: monologue. They were journal entries.
“The presumption of innocence is now the presumption of guilt. The burden of proof is a travesty because the proof is often lies. Guilt beyond a reasonable doubt means if he probably did it, then let’s get him off the streets.”

This should be every state. Allowing incarcerated people to connect with their families is a human right. Poor families should not have to pay collect phone call bills so children can talk to their incarcerated parents.
There is no evidence that any bad actor will get away with anything. It’s all noise until a full and unbiased investigation is conducted and completed.

Looks like from what Eric just put on Twitter Becky Hill will get away with what she did. I pray i'm wrong. That would mean the justice system is over

Azari kept a log of all the bs that was spewed pre trial then compared it to evidence. Our pod is fact-based no matter what the case or topic. We’re here for credibility, not popularity.
Person and politics aside, everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
