    The person who was charged, Mr. Morrison, should be considered innocent until a jury of his peer find him guilty, or he confesses to the crime. Usually in the news everyone assumes that a person is guilty if it is shown on the media, or in the newspapers. The worse part is he is charged with a sex crime against a minor, whether he worked for the state or as a hot dog vendor at the state fair should make no difference. The actual charges, evidence, or the minors name or names were withheld to protect them from bad publicity. But the public will condemn any person related to a crime against a minor, which in one way is good another way bad if the accused is innocent of the crimes. He’ll still be guilty in the public’s eye.

    Would you look happy if you had been arrested at work in front of everyone and accused of something like this, and then have your name and picture splashed all over the media?
    Let’s wait for a jury to decide what happens. Oh, right, then that would mean we were in America, where everyone is guaranteed the right to a speedy trial, right? … and then there’s this thing about “innocent until proven guilty.”
    When you first get up in the morning, take a look in the mirror. Do YOU look YUCKY or maybe even creepy? Hmmmm. What about that beautiful driver’s license photo? Let’s convict everyone who doesn’t look like an Olan Mills portrait!
