No presumption of innocence in Mississippi - and not only there

It was reported today that a Mississippi judge, in an interview, stated that people charged with crimes are all criminals.

That is - people who are presumed to be innocent until proven guilty by a jury of their peers, are guilty, according to the judge - just because they were charged with crimes.

And this is the mentality of many criminal judges, and not only in Mississippi.  A mentality that needs to be weeded out of the system in order for people to get elementary justice.
