Lack of justice or jurisprudence

I was not at the party where Oconee County's former information technology person allegedly assaulted another person , but I do know this.

The victim in this case does not even prefer the male gender as her primary preference. This does not automatically mean he is guilty, but at least he is no longer employed by Oconee County.
