I get concerned when someone gets publicly tried and convicted on the 'Net based
on no more evidence that what has been reported in the press - and we all know
how wonderfully accurate the press can be!

While we all may sometimes jump to conclusions based on press accounts, I sure
wouldn't publically post such snap conclusions based on little (if any) real
knowledge. I would suggest holding off convicting anyone until the investigation
is done and some real information is released.
