Letter to the Editor

Enough for reasonable doubt

To the editor:

I would like to express my concern over the article about the alleged rape by the cab driver. Given the circumstances, I think it is grossly unfair to print the suspect's name and address while not identifying the alleged victim. Our society is supposed to assume innocence until guilt is proven. As a woman, I firmly believe in victim's rights in cases of rape, but I also believe in certain cases (such as this one) the suspect also has certain rights.

Judging solely from the information in the article, this case is iffy at best. If I were a potential juror, the way this was written already leaves reasonable doubt in my mind as to the suspect's guilt.
