Everyone liberals and conservatives, Christians and atheists, black and white are entitled to the presumption of innocence. The burden of proof always rests on the accuser as it must.

And yet you wouldn't allow an investigation for the facts to be gathered because he denies it.  The same people that are entitled to the presumption of innocence are also entitled to due process...  No one has locked up Judge Kvanaugh because of what Dr. Ford is alleging, if he was in jail rotting away you would have a really really good point.

You keep trying to say due process (ie an investigation) is a violation of the presumption of innocence is rather ridiculous because an investigation can only help determine the innocence of a person.

Some how presumption of innocence means never investigation something if its denied or unless DNA style proof can be presented by the accuser, how ridiculous is that LOL.

How is anyone supposed to objectively asses any statements for truth if an investigation is suppressed because he said it didn't happen.
