Just your opinion, of course.

If you don't know the full facts it is only reasonable to extend the benefit of the doubt.

I find the wisest option is when you don't know the full facts, make no comment. I get frustrated when I try to have a serious discussion with people on here and they aren't in possession of the full facts. Their opinions are no less important but it's hard to take them seriously when they display "pub-land facts" or "armchair expert" knowledge.
It's from commenting without knowledge that we get such gems as "religion should be banned because it causes wars" etc
