Of course not. Having an opinion is one thing. Reading the many threads here, and this forum is hardly the only one, it seems a lot of people are always ready to pronounce someone guilty without knowing all the facts. Others always withhold judgement until they have all the facts and always counsel restraint. I just wish more would join the latter group.

If you'll permit. A better philosophy is to never, ever, make judgements about the innocence or guilt of anyone based on what we read, see, or hear from the media. Whatever the media says, an American is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The "news" (read that "entertainment") industry is hardly where anyone should be judged. I am disturbed by folks on here, of all places, making judgements about guilt or innocence based on what the media says. God forbid, but I pray that if anything ever happens and I am in the hot seat, that you won't judge me until all the facts are in. Picking on no one in particular.
