If you think the fellow won't get a fair trial, you are directly criticizing the judge, whose responsibility it is to ensure a fair trial.

If the charge is an immigration violation, then photos of Bin Laden won't be relevant, and the judge won't allow it to be presented to the jurors.

The presumption of innocence is for courts, judges and jurors, and I don't understand why you think it isn't being applied in this case. Cops and prosecutors do not have to presume innocence, or else nobody ever gets charged with anything.

It looks like you've presumed the court there in Idaho is guilty of trashing the constitution.
