"This article is nothing more than a cheap smear: no one in it is cited 
as actually having done something wrong, but merely of having been 
'arrested' or 'accused,' or being a 'defendant,' or having been 
'stopped.' Isn't our system supposed to be based upon the presumption 
that a person is innocent until proved guilty?"
