Victims suggest innocence. And innocence, by the inexorable logic that governs all relational terms, suggests guilt.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Presumptions of guilt or innocence may sometimes be strengthened or weakened by the place of birth and kind of education and associates a man has grown up with, and good character may at times interpose, and justly save, under suspicion, one who is accused of crime on slight circumstances.
Innocence does not find near so much protection as guilt.
Innocence could be considered a discrete state of mind.
The most resonant crimes are the ones in which the victim is most innocent, or perceived as innocent. Blaming the victim is tempting; it offers an out.
People are entitled to the presumption of innocence.
Guilt has very quick ears to an accusation.
Innocence can be more powerful than experience.
While you're finding evidence of innocence, you also find evidence that points to other people.
One threatens the innocent who spares the guilty.
Where all are guilty, no one is; confessions of collective guilt are the best possible safeguard against the discovery of culprits, and the very magnitude of the crime the best excuse for doing nothing.
