Nonetheless, being beat up in jail prior to being convicted of a crime (or after) isn't exactly part of what is supposed to be a fair judicial system.

We ought not to punish people for merely being accused of or indicted for a crime. Today it's this asshole, tomorrow it could be you.

People have really forgotten that its supposed to be "innocent until proven guilty".

Too many people have faith in the judicial system. I wish they would all have to defend themselves, just once, from an unsubstantiated criminal charge.

They would find out, very quickly, just how scary the system can be.

My lawyer friends tell me it is actually "innocent until proven broke" -- lucky for him, this guy has that area covered.
