3. When someone is under investigation for something as serious as a felony, people should probably suspend their "benefit of the doubt" attitude for a bit, unless they are personally involved in the trial.

1. This is true. No doubt.
2. This is true. We just have to remember that being "charged" is NOT the same as being "convicted".
