TRIAL VIA MEDIA

Guilty before trial!-scream newspaper headlines
Targeting individuals and presuming guilt pre-trial
"Any statement you make will be used against you"(and it is
Miranda needs to warn junk journalists against presumptions of guilt
Julian Assange confined for alleged sex offenses
Al Capone jailed for tax offenses not racketeering
Targeting "persons of interest"evokes Alice in Wonderland
"First the EXECUTION-then the sentence!
"No! No!(says Alice)-surely you mean -"first the sentence-then the execution?
"I AM THE QUEEN AROUND HERE!"states the Red Queen-OFF WITH HIS HEAD!
Young PFC Bradley solitary confinement -punished before proof of Wikileaks
Punished for his sexual status rather than specific offenses?
Justice miscarried=justice denied/targeting and scapegoating
Witch hunts and witch burnings are still alive
Where is Joan of arc when we need her most?
She was young,too-and targeted for her sexual status.
