Yes, clearly. The logic is inescapable. A man IS innocent until and unless convicted in an unbiased court of law.

No I do not! And that's what frightens me and why I refuse to countenance any undermining of the principle. Despite the principle, there are far too many cases of the innocent being convicted and punished. I could name you several horrifying examples in relatively recent history in my own provincial jurisdiction alone.
