1/ “Innocent until proven guilty” is a core principle of justice. If you’re tried in a court of law there are rules of due process: the defendant’s lawyer gets to cross-examine the accuser, defendant gets to bring his or her own witnesses, circumstantial evidence investigated etc

2/ But when you’re tried in the media or on social media the court of public opinion can be vicious and cruel these days. Just because someone said something, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true! Gossip isn’t evidence. Accountability is one thing, but mob justice is another.

It's 00:30 actually. But whatever. I am assuming you're in my time zone.

But after/if proven guilty, there are lots of cases that would be served better with restorative justice solutions instead of jail. See Touching Spirit Bear.

You should re-watch the OJ Trial. Or the cops who beat up Rodney King. That trial was held in extremely white Simi Valley. So many travesties of justice. Watch the Innocent Files. Think about every rape kit never opened. Watch Unbelievable on Netflix. And 13. Central Park Five.
