298. It shows people don't want to understand precisely what the 5th Amendment means
Any poster demanding that she or her friends say something in order to "prove" her innocence completely misses the point of the "Right to Remain Silent" & "presumption of innocence." *SHE* doesn't have to say one damn word & can be found not guilty. It is the government that has to prove its case that she's guilty of something. And so far, it appears all they've got is a text or twitter from Ravi that he was in Molly's room. There may be more evidence that they're sitting on, there may not be.
