>>The problem begins with the popular media's assumption of Corby's innocence. << Pity the court didn't begin the case with the same presumption.
" The point, of course, is that the media doesn't know that Corby is innocent."
It's a very important point. Perhaps the most important point of all. All courts of law should be accountable to the people: media of all sorts who are given the complete story so that every single person can make up his or her own mind. No need for media speculation then, no need for mud slung unfairly at anyone.
