That wasn't your argument though was it?

Which would normally mean he hadn't been convicted of anything. Or do you belive in guilty before being proved innocent?

To which I replied that being held prior to trial (i.e. before being convicted of anything as you put it) isn't unusual and had it applied here an innocent man wouldn't be dead at the hands of a thug. You see I have a feeling that all that tough talk on crime we've been subjected to since 1997 hasn't been translated into prison places and I suspect that's more to do with why some people are realsed on bail when they shouldn't be.
