First a disclaimer:
I'm not reading this thread - at least not entirely. I do not hold a stake in either camp concerning the chimnroy franchise, nor am I truly interested. But I see a quote like the one above - and I can't help but think that it should be the opposite way around:
the courts are there to prove guilt, not innoncence. If there have been illegalities, rapes and/or other crimes punishable by law, then let charges be laid, and the offender tried in a court of law. If not, then all of this evidence is nothing short of heresy (however unfortunate that may seem to some of you.) I'm not too sure about the technical legalities - maybe we should ask Gams - but as I understand it, dishonesty and charlantism aren't criminal acts (in and of themselves).
