Mere accusations are not enough to show guilt--thank God.

This court case underscores why we require actual evidence from the police and other government authorities to prove guilt.

We require evidence because a mere allegation of truth by an obviously interested party is not enough.

Accusations do not rise to a level necessary to prove guilt; they only rise to the level of allegation.

Disliking someone doesn't make them guilty. When the government resorts to this approach they are returning to the days when mere prejudice was enough to convict.
