Just to clarify, Carl Sargeant was an AM and not an MP.

Shocking news nevertheless.

He obviously knew that he was going to be hounded by the press dates through the dirt regardless of just how serious the accusations were.

Trial by press is never a good thing.

Apparently he wasn't even aware of what the allegations were, not even when he died. Sacked, humiliated and splattered all over the press. All without ever being given the chance to defend himself. I am so sad for him and his family. So much for innocent until proven guilty.

True, same could be said for Jimmy Savile though

True, but innocent until proven guilty is for 3rd parties. He would know what he had or hadn't done.

I don't follow what you mean by that.

If person A is accused of doing something to person B, the general public XYZ, have to assume that A is innocent of the alleged offence until A is found guilty in a court of law. However, A will know if they did something or not. Person A doesn't need to wait for the conclusion of the trial to know if they did it or not.

Person A might not make it to a court of law if they feel the entire world already sees them as guilty. Whether they are or not. Removing ghe man from his position, effectively sacking him and having it splashed all over the press does not sound like 'general public xyz' having to assume he is innocent until found guilty in a court of law

True, but that still doesn't change my original point that person A knows what they did and didn't do.

Yes, but someone may feel a conclusion has been reached (rigbtly or wrongly) by others if theyve been sacked rather than suspended, and feel theyve been judged and sentenced by bosses and the press etc. People rarely think straight or act rationslly when upset or angry
