    No. You cannot consider actions they have not been convicted of when determining the penal response to the acts they have been convicted of. Innocent and guilt is not a state of being, Lewk. It is a description of a person's relation to specific acts. You are not an innocent person or a guilty person. You are innocent of doing x, or guilty of doing y.

    Bull shit. If that were the case they wouldn't bother with parole boards.
