The trial is the confirmation that they are a criminal. It doesn't mean that they aren't one before-hand.

So if my friend, for example, accused you of having sex with one of his pet rats you would be classed as a criminal?

If the POLICE accused me of having sex with his rat, then yes. Guilty untill proven innocent

But... but shehas a personal vendetta against you because of your political views and because of the way you cut your hair. She presents to the police a very dead rat . She says that she saw you with it thrusting away like mad.

Thats almost enough for the police to go and question you...They most likely will accuse you of the crime in the interview...and then it might get out that you have been accused of fucking a rat...it may be spread by people who don't like your political views. so other people who hold your views about the presumption of innocence can get up and accuse you of being a sick bastard and how you should be locked up forever.

Yes. Now back to the real world.

Yes. Now back to the real world.

...are you suggesting that the police wouldnt have a word to you if they had a dead rat and a few eyewitnesses willing to say you fucked one of their pet rats to death?

...or are you going to tell me that you should have the presumption of innocence applied to you and that you should have a right to defend the accusation?
