You must have a peculiar interpretation of innocence. By that standard Hitler, Jack the Ripper, and John Wilkes Booth were are innocent if by that you mean they died before being convicted in a criminal trial. That is absurd. A criminal trial is not like the hand of God deciding if someone committed an act or not. Even a not guilty verdict doesn't mean the defendant is innocent. Do you think there is any doubt that Ruby shot Oswald or that John Wilkes Booth assassinated Lincoln simply because they died before they could be convicted? Oswald killed JFK. The fact that he died before he was convicted in a court doesn't negate the evidence that he was the assassin by even one iota.
Quote by Richard Smith"We know John Wilkes Booth assassinated Lincoln even though he was never convicted of that act. To suggest he must be considered "innocent" because he was killed before getting a trial is false logic. The same principle goes for Oswald."Apples and oranges, Richard. We don't know that Oswald killed JFK, so the same principle doesn't go.
What does this have to do with anything?
Ray, don't put facts in the way of Smith's delusions.
Caprio using the word ?facts?. Seriously? Why don?t you and I debate the ?facts?? Up to it or will you run and hide once again?
