Defendants Disadvantaged in Court of Public Opinion

False Accusations Nightmist writes "The UCLA Daily Bruin recently printed an editorial in which the author examines how defendants in high profile cases are judged guilty and their lives irreparably damaged by the court of public opinion, regardless of the facts. I must agree that society as a whole assumes guilt when someone is charged with a crime (witness what's currently going with Robert Blake and the way the story is treated by late night talk show hosts...he's already guilty). This is the uphill battle which men, especially, face in our courts."
