        OJ was acquitted. He enjoyed the presumption of innocence. This   
   isn't the same as BEING innocent, of course.

        Anyone may believe anything. But he was found not guilty. Under   
   the law, he was, and I suppose is, presumed innocent.

        The media is free to express a belief in person A being guilty of   
   a crime. The issue becomes when the media fails to make it clear it's   
   a belief, or opinion, not an established fact. Several such   
   organizations slip over the line.
