Dear Professor, going by your job description, I assume you have a degree in law. Why should presumption of innocence be diluted for persons in positions of authority, given that they are not less likely to be targeted by false cases (motivated by political vendetta). Also, while there is some legal legroom to justify it, how can we morally justify dilution of a basic right like presumption of innocence merely because someone is in a senior position?

You may want such a change of law, but merely because some powerful men abuse their power, doesn't mean we make all successful men pay. After all, the reasoning behind the presumption principle is let a [i]hundred guilty go free, but let not one innocent suffer[/i]. I look forward to your counter-view.
