Macomb Sherriff accused of some pretty ugly stuff by deputy.

if the officers filing the suit is telling the truth this is unacceptable and in America we have to assume he is telling the truth until proven otherwise

Wait, what? In other words the sheriff he's making accusations about is guilty until proven otherwise?

It appears that "jaytheory" would probably agree with the twisted view of American jurisprudence espoused by the former [[and recently deceased) Speaker of the House Tom Foley [[Democrat-Washington State) who once stated, “The nature of the evidence is irrelevant; it’s the seriousness of the charge that matters.”

You are absolutely right, and as the trial plays out hopefully they can cut through the hyperbole and get to the facts. However, with the preponderance of accusations and the weak responses coming from the department, I wouldn't be betting on the county.
