Innocent until proven guilty, I mean guilty until proven innocent

Dan Clements, Your Christian/Constitutional Warrior Monday December 18, 2017

Episode 939:

If I were asked which societal movements scares me the most today, that would have to be the #MeToo movement. I’m supportive of anyone that is a victim of sexual harassment or abuse being able to seek justice. But justice has two sides the accusers and the accused.

American court rooms as well as the court of public opinion, should always operate under the maxim of “Innocent until proven guilty.” The more serous the accusation, the more important this maxim is. The accuser should always supply the burden of proof of any accusation. A proper investigation should be performed and evidence supplied or sought. Only if there is evidence of wrong doing can a case proceed through the court system, including the court of public opinion.

Far too often in today’s society the accusation is enough to convict somebody without offering any evidence. What happens if the accuser lied? Do they get punished for any damage done to the innocent party? When we are talking about sexual crimes, we need to trust, but verify. The #MeToo movement has forgotten this. Whatever #MeToo’s goals are, they need to seek the truth, not political points.

Daily Bible Reading: Micah 5:2  “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me The One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, From everlasting.” 

Quotemeal: “Be assured, if you walk with Him and look to Him, and expect help from Him, He will never fail you.” — George Mueller

Hello, my name is Dan Clements, and I host a live show every Friday from 12 noon-1pm ET every week. I also record a daily show that is posted in the afternoon. It's called The Dan Clements Show on YouTube and on my show page. The Dan Clements Show is a Christian/political talk show where we talk about the issues of the day from a Christian point of view. We cover all topics of a political nature, and sometimes some topics that are not. I try to keep the show lite, engaging, and easy to understand. I want people to come away from my show knowing that they have learned something new, or how to look at an issue from a different point of view. So please come and be apart of the conversation. I also upload 1-3 short videos Monday - Thursday, so be on the lookout for those videos as well!!! I'm a veteran of the US Navy and the Army National Guard. I have been married to my wonderful wife Lori for almost 32 years and have 2 children. I love my God and my country and am working hard to teach the truth about both.
