>>>The law states innocent until proven guilty and that means in a court of law. Also, if the police were to publicly refer to the 'suspect' as anything other than a 'suspect' and alter the 'suspect' is acquitted, then here comes the lawsuit....

>>The expression "court of law" made me giggle every time. I tried to imagine what other courts there may be, this being a republic. The only one I know of is food court, but I never hear about any verdicts coming out.

>Basketball court, silly. If you would just watch more sports on television you would know this.

Tried that a few times, but the teams seed pretty equal, jury too large and noisy, and I couldn't tell the defense from the prosecution. And having two judges confused me completely.

But then, even while we had TV, I wasn't watching any sports. I know any doctor would tell you that moderate amount of sports activity would do good for you, but enjoying it vicariously is not my idea of moderation. Just as watching people eat isn't my idea of a good lunch. And I don't care how highly trained and professional they may be about their eating, and how much knowledge may TV crew have about shooting from exactly the right angle and knowing the exact moment when to insert ads - nope, not the same.
