I don't share that mindset; it's discouraging (to me) that so many apparently do.
As I said earlier, there's too much testimony at this point for me to believe he's innocent. It's a damn shame he was so good putting on a family value face while committing such egregious crimes. He's an absolute POS monster.
But I would say I think people's outrage is tempered by their knowledge that criminal proceedings will be very limited. It should make people more angry that he's gotten away clean for so long, but to a lot of people... if he's not charged and convicted, he's not guilty. Or at least it's not worth getting upset about. Idunno, I have no solution for it. If the shit had come out when it happened, it could have been stopped before it affected so many and he could have been punished.
