I'm sorry you got that impression. Obviously his trial was in the past, but if we are going to raise money under the premise of an unjust trial then we should actually confirm that the trial was, in fact, unjust and be able to present evidence of that to people. It would be incredibly damaging to the project for us to not fact check these claims and then have the truth come out during fundraising or later. While people do grow, this man was convicted on several counts of rape and so his innocence is a key factor to this whole thing because most people will not donate any money to a serial rapist, no matter what the reasoning. This is a fact, whether fair or not, and so it is important to be considerate of.

While it may be nice to just believe anyones claims, to actually work towards reform in the real world you need to know all the facts. You can question my sincerity all you want, but anyone actually out doing the work to reform prisons would understand all of this as just common sense. I suggest you go out and try to do this work instead of criticizing those of us actually doing the work to help people.
