This isn't about people in general though, it's about Keith's determination. It is completely his prerogative to wait for information, information he has made an open invitation for people to send him, before he makes up his mind.

Again this was part of what Liza, Megan, and, to a lesser extent, even Chemda twisted around. Keith said he needed evidence that proved Ben was guilty. Courts need this to convict so it shouldn't be in poor taste at all. Keith just said it helped him make up his mind a lot faster with the Ray Rice case because there was a video. Liza interrupted him and then twisted his words to say that he claimed that unless there was video evidence the rape didn't count. Keith absolutely didn't say that in any fashion.

Like Keith said, the information is probably out there, but it's not as "in your face" as Ray Rice, AP, or Vick. Keith made an open request for anyone and everyone to send him the information that proves Ben is guilty. Also Just because she didn't recant it, doesn't mean it is necessarily true. It is innocent until proven guilty to protect people from false accusation and help ensure their freedom in the case of innocence.

This isn't a debate on whether or not Ben is innocent, it is about whether Keith has seen any evidence to prove one way or another. People shouldn't say it's poor taste to want evidence of a crime, it's the whole point of our judicial system.
