Reading the latest story found on ABC News I was disheartened to see that someone who was recently arrested was pretty much painted out to be guilty prior to a trial and prior to the news agency knowing the full details of the case, something which has gotten out of control within the last few months. Many of these news agencies do not know the situation they often create for people under these circumstances, physically, mentally, and we can't forget financially sometimes. An apology, there certainly is almost never a follow up done to fully clarify the outcome of a certain case and I'm certain when the role is reversed and the accused becomes the victim no one is held accountable for their stories.
Lets take a look at it from their perspective now.
Being accused of a crime does not make you the culprit and there are laws in place that depict this but reality paints a different picture and many times we don't hear the full scope of the situation from any perspective since at this point it is no longer a juicy enough story to capture attention. Loss of financial stability will most likely be the first stage for the victim who was once the accused. But wait lets not sidestep and make this a government bashing document, lets play the devil's advocate and look at things through their eyes for a minute. Some college student who has never been in trouble with the law, graduated from school, works for the government, teaches courses in college, all of the sudden out of the blue just decides to become a malicious hacker. Lets defame him now with some irrelevant issues to make sure everyone knows why we targeted him.
