Hell feel free to defend Simcox. No one is stopping you.
You have a penchant for the obvious. But thank you for the greenlight to defend someone whom at this point has been accused, but no trial and jury. Just like our Haditha troopers who have been accused only at this point. Would be nice for you to assume innocence until proven guilty rather than the other way around. Move to the U.K. if you feel "assumed guilty first" is your cup of tea.
