ABC turns presumption of innocence upside down. Ping to Today show list.

Good ol' liberals. Conservatives are guilty until proven innocent. So you know how they think when there's someone they don't like who they want to get.

Thanks for the post, I have nothing to contribute except to say that I believe the court decision is correct and the news media has failed it’s listeners once again.

This leaves an extremely bad tastes in my mouth, defending ABC....
But the State of Florida settled over 5 mil in taxpayer dollars worth of liability to the family prior to the resolution of specific criminal charges,indicating somebody on the government payroll was guilty of something, in this young boy’s death.
Why did the State essentially admit liability, if nobody did anything wrong?
Was it prosecutorial misconduct?
Did the guards get away with murder or merely negligent homicide? If they didn’t do anything wrong, why would the State of Florida accept liability for the child’s death?
This does not make any sense to me, as a parent.
The “government” accepts liability for the death of this child, but nobody in the employ of the government is actually ever identified as the person or persons guilty of causing the childs death?
The State closed the entire program down, prior to the trial of the individuals who were tried for the death of this child.
Why have the criminal trial at all, since the State of Florida had already assumed liability for the wrongfull death?

No, I don’t see that the child's parents can ever find any justice under the law, here.
Got a dead body,whose death was videotaped.
The State tries to pay the parents off, shuts down the entire boot camp program, but no individual(s) anywhere did anything wrong...it just...happened.

If it had been my child, I wouldn’t consider the “case” closed.
If it had been yours, would you?
