That's the American way.
This comes from someone that can be locked up as an "enemy combatant" if decreed so by the law that was signed this week by our beloved president.
Will I be locked up while awaiting trial?
Heck, I haven't even left the country.
So, am I innocent until I can prove so? Or is there a burden of proof to find my guilt?
We live in a topsie turvey world, up is down, truth is a lie, the media is to blame for the actions of leaders, and parents are to blame for the im's of a pedophile.

People are often times held in jail before trial. OJ was in jail until the trial ended. Even for minor offenses, you may be held in jail unless you post bond.
