For whatever it's worth, after having read the full indictment against Kim Schmitz and his partners, particularly their excerpted intra-company emails, I am now presuming the government has an especially good case, is likely to win, and is generally serving the public good by pursuing the case.
(It is thus a good thing that I am not the trial judge overseeing the case.)
So just to be clear, you believe gut-instinct "public good" overrides due process and the rule of law? This is certainly a very common and hence reasonable opinion, backed up by decades of juris-"prudence". I'd just like to be explicit about its general prevalence, lest people are misled into thinking that the lofty ideals in the country's founding documents have much relevance to modern society.
Funnily enough, I was replying to the general progression of your three comments. You started off arguing as if abstract legal analysis was the most important thing, moved to a guilty-by-construction example while implying that Supreme Court precedent is the most important, and ultimately fell back on the court of public opinion. It's fine to hold a barbershop "he's guilty" viewpoint, but framing it as something much more philosophical is dishonest.
No. You alluded to the notion that I'd already made up my mind about this case. As a courtesy to you & the thread, I confirmed your suspicion, and then stated that my bias is why we're glad I don't decide the case. You repaid the courtesy by ignoring the last sentence and then hitting my over the head with other sentences of mine out of context.
For what's it's worth too, the bail for MU and others were granted because most of what the police said were made up stuff. You probably heard about this when they seized empty accounts.
I wouldn't be surprised if the indictment was also an overton window to make MU crack and seek a plea deal because of USA's enforcement reputation for trumped up charges.
