Presumed innocence is too old school for me. How about you?

Guilty Until Innocent By Franklin Price 10/8/2018 Guilty until innocent From sea to shining sea Congress should pass it right away That's the way the law should be Accusers with agendas Should always have their way Proof is not required They're correct in all they say Take the ones who are accused Put them on the evening news Label them without firm proof It's about the guilty views When accusations are in doubt And holes are in the case Create some more out of the air And put them right in place No need to waste the time in courts May be innocence to see Take the accused out in the morning And hang them from the highest tree

Well Franklin, sarcasm works for me. Since we are now being tried by the media, we should fire all the lawyers and judges. Public opinion is free. Save those tax dollars:)
