You’re innocent until proven guilty, that has little to do with being given benefits of the doubt.

You forgot a very important part: you’re innocent until proven guilty BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. THAT definitely has something to do with being given the benefit of the doubt.

It just means he’s innocent in the eyes of the law until convicted, it doesn’t mean we can’t speak harshly based on what looks like clear evidence.
