Look, the whole 'innocent until proven guilty' thing? That's a legal principle for the courtroom. It's about how the justice system operates, making sure the government has to prove someone's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt before they can be locked up. It's a protection against wrongful convictions...blah blah...
But outside of a court of law, in everyday life, we're totally allowed to speculate, discuss, and form opinions based on the information we have. If there's a lot of evidence pointing towards someone, or if their actions look suspicious, we're not legally bound to pretend they're saints until a judge bangs a gavel. We can absolutely talk about whether we think Starocci might be guilty, or that it looks like he did something wrong. Of course sometimes speculation goes overboard etc.
But we're just talking here, throwing out ideas
