On: Letter from Union Pacific to LA District Attorney ...

[refurb]

Huh? If you haven’t been to court your innocence/guilt hasn’t been proven, just suspected and custody approved by a judge.

Saying “jailing innocent people” is just playing with words.

[wolverine876 → refurb]

You are innocent until proven guilty.

[mrow84 → wolverine876]

Only in a legal sense - that doesn’t change whether you did or did not commit the act in question.

[wolverine876 → mrow84]

We are talking about a legal sense, a very important one that takes away people's freedom.

[refurb → wolverine876]

Presumption of innocence when determining guilt.

But you’re not put in jail before trial because you’re guilty, it’s to keep the public safe and/or make sure you don’t flee.
