Media and people taking away rights.

I wonder what happened to innocent until proven guilty. Does this only apply to people outside the University of Memphis basketball team. How quick are we to judge a matter without knowing the real situation. Just because a person has been accused of something does not mean that person is guilty of the charge. I am not saying that he is not guilty either but what I am saying is that no one should accuse a person if a trial have not proceded in a case. In this country, just because a person is found guilty by law does not mean they are guilty at hand. Under certain circumstances, other players have been charged for assault. The problem is we do not know what really happened during that incident. How do you know if the other party did not start the fight? Of course we do not know that situation. The other party that claimed the assault occured did not give a written statement to the Helmsman nor any other paper. Maybe by law, a reporter should recognize both sides of the story. If they do not obide in this law the reporter should not be able to work in the media again.
