Nancy Grace

MAN. I was totally going to write an email to the people who put her on back about 8 months ago. I stumbled across her show, and I LITERALLY wanted to climb into the TV and ring her motherfucking neck.

I hate her more than almost anyone on news television - INCLUDING Bill O'Reilly. At least he's funny to watch, you know?

But this woman. She makes my skin crawl - much like Dr. Laura Schlessinger. There's another one I wish would be taken out behind the chemical shed and have "silenced."

I do, however, have a horrible thing with obnoxious, annoying women.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Noooo, thats not exactly exclusive to only defense lawyers, sir.

"The presumption of innocence" that a person is "innocent until proven guilty" is the Golden Thread that runs through (criminal) law. It was what is known as "common law" and although it has appeared in statutes (Acts and suchlike) and been varied from time to time, it is part of what people would consider "natural justice.'

The criminal burden of proof is not that a person is guilty just because it is "more likely than not" that they did something, but if there is any "reasonable doubt" about guilt, then that person is entitled to be acquitted. That is the "burden of proof" in criminal trials and it rests upon the precept that a person is only "guilty" after a fair trial - or as you may say "due process of law."

There's nowhere I can't reach.
