BEFORE THE VERDICT
Presumption of innocence pronounced dead four press releases before Lindsay Clancy's jury reconvenes.
“They didn't wait for the jury — a sitting congresswoman is asking TMZ for a public execution before this woman's even had her second trial, the President's already called it "a tragedy," and a newspaper's already decided she's guilty in an op-ed. That's a verdict getting written on cable news before the courtroom's even open. If that's how it runs when the cameras are rolling, picture what happens on the case with no cameras at all.”
“Elected officials have opinions too, and presumption of innocence is a courtroom rule, not a cable-news rule — the Congresswoman was speaking up for grieving families, not handing down a verdict. Okay, she used the words "public execution" on the record, but that's rhetoric, not policy, Congress obviously doesn't — huh, why exactly am I defending a sitting lawmaker for calling for a woman's execution before the jury's even picked.”
