That is incorrect. It is still a core tenant of our democracy. We, as in the general public, feel we get to place blame based on information passed via media with whatever spin they deem appropriate. It's incredibly ignorant for us to sit here and say "This 'probably' happened so we insist you destroy this guy's life." If it was you, I promise you would want the opportunity to have a fair process applied.
If its discovered that Peters did do this then the appropriate measures should be taken. Its not fair for any of us to pick up the pitchforks before then. If its found out that he didn't do this, well it seems his lively hood has already been destroyed. Now imagine that is you and how you you feel about this.
Im not going to argue anymore about this. I'm just trying to make a point that this process is far from fair and the world of social media has destroys a guys life
