Making absolutely no statement on him being held or the veracity of his detainment, I have to mention one thing. You cannot say with any certainty that the above statement is true. I completely understand being upset about him being charged, but assuming that he never committed an act of terrorism when all you know about his life was that he was imprisoned without charges is a fucking stretch. He could be as innocent as a baby, but you're definitely making a claim without evidence. No charge =/= to innocent.

United States legal system operates under "Innocent until proven guilty".

The law holds that if guilt cannot be proven, then that is the case. It does not mean absolute innocence in all matters, only innocence in the matters at hand.

Your statement would appear to attempt to establish a form of guilt by the conjecture that no one is 'innocent'. Is that a fair read?

Ideologues use similar implications to justified stone walling legal measures, as if violating the legal system for personal vendettas or ideology is a justification.

The deceased was ordered released in 2010:

The defense argued that he suffered from mental illness, including epilepsy. A motion to release medical records was denied however, with no reason given.

I cannot find information relating to a supposed DC Court of Appeals overturning that ruling and is regarded as hearsay until necessary court filings or articles of substance are found.
