Presumption of Innocence Is Social Justice

in #news6 years ago (edited)

We should fight for the presumption of innocence, not just in the court of law but as the cultural norm we grant the accused in discourse.

It's not so much that some people are for social justice and some people are against it. It's that people have different ideas about what social justice means. You can't really say that you are FOR social justice while acting AGAINST the presumption of innocence.
