Innocent unless proven guilty....?

As the teacher says,

"You must not be guilty to be proven guilty, but you are not guilty unless proven guilty."

Yesterday, there was this guy who was brutally hacked to death in JB. I thought that it would be yet another one of those stories, with the media covering the investigations for the next few days and maybe the dangers of JB or something.

Today, they are saying that the guy who was murdered, is a suspected murderer himself.

By saying that he has a new identity, and that his family does not know what he is doing, is rather insulting for a guy who was just murdered in cold blood.

The papers have already somewhat painted him as a criminal, using words such as "Secret Society" and so on.

Even though he is the prime suspect, he has yet to have been proven guilty in a court of law. And, that means, that he's not guilty, as far as the legal system goes.

Could the press have at least waited till the funeral is over or something? If I were the family of the man, I would find these articles extremely insulting the his memory. Instead of saying how the JB police is handling this (although I know police don't comment on anything that's still under investigation), they go on about his background.

Seriously, should the press do anything just to get the ratings and sales? In Death Note 2, the producers in the show are willing to allow people to continue dying to get the ratings. What happened to morality and ethics?

Then again, with oil companies being some of the world's richest companies, what morality and ethics? -_-

Welcome to the real world too....
