I don't think that the democratic principle of innocent until proven guilty is special treatment, nor do I think that the right to a fair trial is special treatment.

God forbid, you ever get falsely accused of anything nefarious, you'll deserve the treatment that you condone.

And by extension, you obviously expect to be accused of something like this, because you are bending over backwards to defend a probable rapist.

Innocent until proven guilty was NEVER applied anywhere but a legal context and your willful attempts at ignoring that fact when presented it, indicate you're exactly as suspect as you originally came off. Great job.
