Yes, we have been over the fact that not being charged with a crime is not the same as being innocent of one. That is why a person is found not guilty in a court. They are not found innocent. It might seem like a silly distinction to you, but it is not. Casey Anthony was found not guilty. Does that mean she is innocent? O.J. Simpson? Again, no comment on the man's detainment, just on these rash statements made to make claims sound better on both sides of the fence. "Oh, they wouldn't lock them up for no reason." "He was not charged, so he never committed a crime." This shit just goes on and on. I wish that people would take the time to think about the propaganda speak they use when discussing delicate topics. It would probably keep these arguments from getting out of hand. That's all I have to say on the topic.
