I think the judge was right. Think about it - what's the trial for? The trial is to decide if a crime was committed.
So in the court are they the accused and the accuser, the prosecutor and the defendant? Or are they the victim and the assailant, the rapist, the murderer? They can't be a rapist until AFTER the case is over, and then ONLY if they LOSE the case.
Otherwise you might as well just go to a police-state system, when they come in already written up as the man 'guilt of XX crime' and they get the privilege of trying to prove their innocence.
Seriously guys, the fundamentals of justice here, innocent until proven guilty.
And 1A doesn't apply to court cases indiscriminately! There are millions of situations where judges can and should say who can say what, and when. It's court for ****'s sake!
P.S.
Obxned, are you trying to tell people that if you make bad decisions it's your fault? You seriously expect to sell that 'personal responsibility' stuff, that sounds like a lot of hard work for little immediate rewards. People, THR included, want quick and easy, and the less responsibility the better.
