But we are in the USA, where the majority of convicted criminals were never proven guilty because the system relies on coercing them into not going to trial.
Civilized societies don't shut down the paths for people to air their grievances.
"civilized" implies that everybody is playing by the rules. Those clowns were not playing by the rules.
Say who? Literally the entire news media loves airing trials before they're proven innocent or guilty.
Depends who it benefits
Which is one reason why the legacy news media is disregarded/disrespected by the general public. People have caught into the games that they play such as trying to paint people as pre convicted
Someone should tell that to the people who publish the gas station mugshot magazines.
