I'm reminded of the Duke Lacrosse Team case. The standards for a reasonable person to conclude they were guilty were met. Lives were ruined.

Standards are higher in the real courts for a reason. Then need to be higher in the court of public opinion too because the damage for a wrong decision in either direction are just as devastating.

I believe based on the evidence I have he is guilty, but I can never be sure, when the people presenting the evidence are the media and not someone with a legal obligation to present things correctly to a set standard like a lawyer, that I have all of the evidence in context.

The problem with the Duke lacrosse team was an overzealous persecutor charging them based on shitty evidence - in other words, that's an example within the legal system.

Perhaps the standards should be higher than they are, and it is of course always wise to keep in mind the possibility that one might be wrong. But it is difficult for me to see how this specific instance is one where the worry about standards is relevant, because I think the evidence in this instance surpasses more or less any reasonable expectation.

Who's evidence, tho? The standards of evidence is not what I'm questioning, it's the standards of the presentation. I have heard no counterpoint other than people saying "He's guilty" "I can't say for certain he's guilty" "Shut up rape apolgist, agree or you're a bad person"

Oh, and WRT the dukes team, the prooblem wasn't the really evidence, the problem was that the evidence was taken at a high enough standard because there was no-one in TCoPO arguing against it. It was highenough to convince people because we did not have an significant voice scrutinizing it until it went to court.
