Oh, it’s certainly a valid point to bring up and a prosecutor probably *would* call it obvious in court. I’m just really wary of public discourse getting to far ahead of things, especially this soon. For one, I still feel burnt by the Duke lacrosse debacle, where I, like so much of the country, was sure those boys were guilty.

In my mind, DSK is safely in custody, so we can let the legal system work things out. Do I think he’s probably guilty? Yes, I do. I just can’t say I know it for certain, is all.

Same here, and that is why I am not so fast out the door to assign guilt either.

Since he does have, ahem, a sordid sexual reputation in France and there is at least one other accuser, I would venture that this is probably not going to turn out like the Duke Lacrosse case.

Still, I am not going to absolutely say he is guilty either.
