Yep. And for the most part whenever the investigators get it wrong they never apologize or admit their mistake. ‘We worked the case and the evidence pointed to the innocent guy because once we decided in our minds that it was him there was no changing our minds. Despite the wrongly accused being on the surface of the moon during the commission of this crime we still feel he was involved somehow so while he won’t be charged with the crime at hand we believe he’s not 100% innocent’.
Unless you're Luigi.. then they make documentaries about you, call for the death penalty before any convictions, make you do a perp walk with 30 cops...
"call for the death penalty before any convictions"
The prosecutors don't need to presume innocence, only the judge/jury. The prosecutors (almost never) would bring a case unless they assumed guilty of the suspect
I mean i don't think what he did was especially heinous or wrong personally but he did gun a man down in the street on camera. If any crime is deserving of lifetime imprisonment or a death penalty I think we can all agree that cold blooded murder on the street with video proof and no shadow of a doubt that the murderer did it is it. I know our justice system isn't perfect but if you allow exceptions for certain crimes that completely dismantles our system of law.
After a conviction... Usually...so the jury doesnt vote not guilty...Thats why its so performative of bondi and a complete embarrassment for us as citizens.. it doesn't matter how you or anyone else feels about the announcement. When you have jury trials.. you dont announce that punishment in case you get an jury that wont convict...
Murder charges are severe enough to put people behind bars till trial, yes. Usually the charges and the suspects circumstances are considered before setting bond, but if the charges and circumstances aren't great, the flight risk is considered too severe. You want a potential murderer to go free until trial?

Guilty until proven innocent that’s how it really works.
