The presumption of innocence is really important because it reduces the chance for abusing the prosecutorial process (of course that does still happen). Prosecutors must show beyond a reasonable doubt that a person is guilty. That’s a high bar to clear, but it gets easier when the defendant builds you a staircase.
Every defendant deserves the right to plead guilty, even this criminal.
When would you say that story really picks up? I played about half of the first expansion and so far it feels like typical anime craziness plot (not a bad thing, but makes it hard to see how the diffent threads interact).
