Jim,

I did not like Mr. Nixon's projected personality.

However, the theory our judicial system operates on is
that a person is PRESUMED INNOCENT until proven guilty
beyond a reasonable doubt.  

In cases of slander and libel prosecution, the TRUTH is 
always a defense.  If Mr. Nixon wanted to sue some of us
on the net for Slander/Libel we would have the chance to
prove some of the allegations.

Technically, we who have publicly bad mouthed Mr Nixon
on the net are the "guilty" ones.

Accepting a pardon is not an admission of any guilt.

Lawyers on the net - is the above a true statement ?
