errr... didn't he already admit to being guilty when he was originally charged?<div>Don't get me wrong... I'm a great believer that one's innocent until found guilty... unless of course, one's already admitted ones guilt!</div><div>

This is the crux of the issue most of us have with the process. We've only heard what the prosecution has released to the press, and they did so to the press prior to any conviction. I'm not saying there aren't some real lowlifes in that group, but it doesn't change the fact they they're now guilty in the court of public opinion, with no due process.
As for what he said when charged, there are rumors that the audio tapes vary GREATLY from what the released information portrays. Until the case goes to trial, and the events are made public record, we only have ONE side of the issue. Do I think Jason has a problem? Yes. Do I think he committed a crime? I don't know, because I'm not privy to all the information, I'm not on the jury, and the trial hasn't happened yet. Until that time, I will not convict, and sentence Jason in a kangaroo court like this.
