Catching up on the #Nerdist stuff with Hardwick and already seeing people use the "whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?" line to defend him. Well, let's talk about why that's bullshit & doesn't apply at this point in time. (Gonna be a thread)
In the judicial system there are a number of "Burdens of Proof." These are necessary steps in all court cases, but specifically in criminal cases. "Innocent Until Proven Guilty" is a presumption for the jurors who have to find someone guilty BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT.
So this presumption isn't a burden unto itself, and is, in fact, the LAST STEP in the judicial process. Getting to the point takes a bunch of other steps in which it's essential to believe the accusers. #Nerdist
