If “proven guilty” then what?
Kangaroo court! Banana Republic!
The Gap!
Innocent Americans are found guilty every day in kangaroo courts around America

No different than a Christian being found guilty in North Korea, China, or Iran

The democrats have a pre-planned agenda against conservatives and Christians, are you blind to this fact

DA Alvin Bragg in Manhattan New York is a prime example, funded in his campaign by George Soros, on the platform he will get Trump

Perhaps Fulton County DA Fanni Willis is a unbiased American, in pursuit of justice "Smiles"!

The Trump liberal democratic indictments are a laughing stock in the face of democracy, nothing more that politically targeting a republican conservative Donald J. Trump in a 2024 presidential race, you think the world is blind

IF. That is the issue. Guilt has not been proven as of yet.

Example: I get accused of taking a flame thrower to a bus load of handicapped black orphans and poster “X” calls me every name in the book. Murderer, Racist, hate monger etc etc.

Then the trial comes and they find out it is some other handsome swarthy looking Latino with incredibly good teeth.

Poster “x” has just become guilty of slander. How could anyone believe them again? It makes them look less than complimentary

GUILTY
Democracy Partners said in a statement it hoped the verdict would "help to discourage Mr. O'Keefe and others from conducting these kind of political spy operations -- and publishing selectively edited, misleading videos."

GUILTY
O'Keefe and three other conservative activists, Stan Dai, Joseph Basel and Robert Flanagan, were arrested Jan. 25 on felony charges but prosecutors later reduced the charges to misdemeanors, for entering federal property on false pretenses.

O'Keefe has demonstrated time and time again his disregard for lawful journalistic practices, and has been found GUILTY on more than one occasion. O'Keefe has a history of being GUILTY, and the odds are good he will once again be found GUILTY.

Exactly. He has NOT been proven guilty as of yet. Thanks for the confirmation.

You certainly do not mind waiting until he is ACTUALLY found guilty.
Spin it anyway you like with semantics, but he has been guilty in the past and will be found guilty once again. His own people fired him because he endangered their tax-exempt status! I guess we can add the label 'corrupt' to his resume.

I already know he is guilty, and no amount of browbeating or labeling of me will change the fact that he is guilty. Even if he is found not guilty in this chapter of his biography 'Book of Guilt', the chapters after this surly will bring about more guilt.

The truth is never a spin.

That is the first reply I have made to you.

If the simple truth that the man has not been found guilty of the charges is brow beating.

Boy are we in trouble.

The only 'truth' you posted is that he has not yet been found guilty. This is all you have posted, while ignoring his guilty history.
That is the first reply I have made to you.
ok

Incomplete sentence. What is being said here?

As I said, he has been guilty in the past and he has a reputation of being guilty.
Boy are we in trouble.

I agree. Right-wing journalism is often times untruthful, and people like O'Keefe drags it down even further with each GUILTY verdict he receives. He has no credibility, and he has himself to blame.

Two things:

I have zero idea who O’Keefe is and really don’t care.

I am not asking about his past, you are the accuser bringing it up. As for the current charges, he is still to be considered innocent.

An inconvenient truth possibly, but the truth regardless

... in a court of law. I am not in a court of law and under no obligation to regard him as innocent.

In the US it's innocent until proven guilty, James Okeffe at this time is "Innocent"
No, in the US it's presumed innocent in a court of law, so, in court, James O'Keefe must be presumed innocent until a jury decides otherwise or until he makes a deal where he pleads guilty. Presumed innocent is not actually innocent.

This must be why everybody I've ever heard of thinks OJ is completely innocent.

Your claim is "False"

Wikipedia:The presumption of innocence is a legal principle that every person accused of any crime is considered innocent until proven guilty. Under the presumption of innocence, the legal burden of proof is thus on the prosecution, which must present compelling evidence to the trier of fact (a judge or a jury).

Good grief! That's *exactly* what @DaisyDay just wrote.

Presumption of innocence is a *legal principle* that is it applies to *legal proceedings* like trials. It doesn't apply outside of the court system.

It is all about the burden of proof. To convict someone the government must *prove* they are guilty to get a conviction, and it is not up to defendant to *prove* they are innocent to avoid conviction.

Maybe we should wait until there is a conviction before we get to the name calling?

Right now, there is not even an investigation that we know of.
Amen

In. A. Court. Of. Law. I am not in a court. I do not have to consider him innocent.
Then it is an expression of your opinion.

By that standard, it can be said that Biden is guilty of treason. And there would be no ramifications.
