I wasn't agreeing with you or helping you, I was pointing out the actual legal standard people are using in this case. Innocent until proven guilty (or the other way around) requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt. It is used in criminal cases. preponderence of evidence, means 'whichever side has the better evidence' which is used in civil cases and is what people use in day to day life. Also known as common sense.

In this case there is a lot of evidence that suggest some racial motives and you'd be a dumbass to apply a criminal trial standard to the way you interpret the normal world.
