Raven 23: Presumption of Guilt

Miscellaneous


For most of its history, Iraq was considered the cradle of civilization.  They pioneered life-changing inventions in agriculture, travel, medicine, and the law.  In fact, King Hammurabi established the earliest set of written laws, which codified the concept of "innocent until proven guilty."  Paul, Nick, Evan, and Dustin risked their lives in Iraq to restore the country to its former glory.  They risked their lives to rescue Iraq from tyrants and terrorists who were preventing the Iraqi citizens from basic freedoms.  They wanted a free Iraq where the Iraqi people were safe and their opportunities to thrive and tap into their historic talents and collective genius.  In a tragic irony, they will soon find themselves wrongfully convicted of a crime that they did not commit.  And the US government would deprive them of the key freedom established by Hammurabi and enshrined in American law - the presumption of innocence.
