Strange Intersection

Not at all. I was simply asking you to explain why you would have such a strong opinion right off the bat.

I personally go into things like this with a neutral outlook; that is, they may or may not be guilty. Then we take a look at the evidence and draw our conclusions from that.

I make a very conscious effort to not assume someone guilty until proven so. I also make a conscious effort not to dismiss the possibility. One of the best pieces of advice I have ever gotten is "keep an open mind", and I try my hardest to do just that.
