Why I believe Jay Wilds

Only if he's guilty which neither of us can prove. I try to be objective and governed by what I can prove,

Except you start every conversation from a point of Adnan being innocent.

I don't know = Not Guilty by default. That's the whole point of the principle and belief of "Innocent until proven guilty". So yes, by default I start from the position of Innocence, and work my way towards guilt based on proof.

Until you want to start from the point of at least 'we don't know' , don't bother replying. Because this part here..

If Adnan really is innocent, then your reasoning / beliefs mean nothing and are harmful / hurtful and false.

... is a shocking approach to the case. Because you're suggesting don't question anything because IF Adnan is innocent, it could be hurtful. Ignoring the fact that IF Adnan is guilty, then it's vitally important.

What is shocking is your obvious strawman. I'm not suggesting any such thing about not questioning every piece of evidence. Infact my whole point in responding to you, was to get you to question your "biggest lie with the biggest implications" statement from a perspective of Adnan being innocent so you would realize that if your belief about him is wrong, if you are interpreting every or key pieces of evidence with a negative bias towards Adnan, that you are doing harm with false reasoning.

Look through my posting history, I state time and again I don't know if Adnan did it. I don't think he got a fair trial. I don't think the prosecution and police did a thorough investigation and believe that Adnan is probably 40-50% probability of being guilty. with a 50-60% of someone else being responsible for her murder.

What is unreasonable about my position? We both agree we don't know who killed Hae, we both agree we can't prove Adnan is guilty or innocence. So what's the problem in my reasoning and argument?
