The court must presume innocence but come on be realistic.
If you have a guy on helicopter video running from a bank with a bag into a car taking off chased by police stopped pulled out of the car and arrested, yeah, he is guilty.
If you walk into your house and stumble on a burgler, yep, guilty.
If you walk into your daughters room and find her being molested, yeah safe bet the guy is guilty.
While the legal system has to follow rules on specific evidence the rest of us are free to look at damning evidence and form an opinion. Do we know the fact of the case? Perhaps the father caught the guy in the act and showed enough restraint to not rip his head off, maybe someone else stumbled on the act and dad held back until now and snapped. Not everyone has to apply innocent until proven guilty until the verdict is read, guilt can be proven long before a jury says so.
