Another example of the guilty until proven innocent society we live in…
FAA head Randy Babbitt resigned Tuesday following a drunk driving arrest. “I am unwilling to let anything cast a shadow on the outstanding work done 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by my colleagues at the FAA,” Babbitt said in a statement. On Monday, Babbitt took a leave of absence from the agency after being arrested over the weekend for drunk driving in Fairfax, Va.

So much for the concept of innocent until proven guilty! Also, ESPN kept NBA analyst Jalen Rose on staff after committing a DUI, serving 20 days in jail and hiding it from his employer ESPN? What makes this case any different that Barnaby is fired the day after he’s arrested?
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Former NHL forward Matthew Barnaby was fired by ESPN as the cable network’s hockey analyst on Monday, a day after being charged with drunken driving for being found behind the wheel of an SUV that was missing its front tire.
In an email sent to The Associated Press, ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz wrote the network informed Barnaby that his contract was terminated “effective immediately.”
The decision was made a day after Erie County sheriff’s office said Barnaby was driving a Porsche Cayenne with front-end damage and a sparking rim in the Buffalo suburb of Clarence, where he lives. Barnaby was arrested after failing field sobriety tests and refusing a breath test.
It’s a shame that ESPN doesn’t realize that just because you are arrested for DUI doesn’t mean you will be convicted or found guilty of DUI!

TMZ reports that the beauty queen, Rima Fakih, was arrested in Highland Park, Michigan on Saturday for suspicion of drunk driving. Fakih tried to deny the incident initially, tweeting on Saturday, “Let’s clear things up now…. I’m NOT in Michigan and I’m NOT in jail! Wrong Fakih.”
But her attorney, Doraid Elder, stated “Unfortunately she was.” The tweet has since disappeared and Elder commented that Fakih is “very saddened and very apologetic for the situation that she is in right now.”
But her lawyer tells the Detroit Free Press that the arrest was based merely on “allegations.” Further investigation by the Highland Park police will happen tomorrow.
As the attorney points out, these are merely “allegations”. Just because someone is arrested for DUI, does NOT mean that they will be convicted or found guilty of DUI. Why?
