"Dmitry Medvedev: Do you think that if a person is publicly shamed on television, they should be immediately imprisoned?"
"Dmitry Medvedev: In fact, I would like to bring everyone back to the legal framework. I believe that no one has abolished the presumption of innocence."
"Dmitry Medvedev: An investigation is underway; let it sort things out, establish the objective truth in the case, bearing in mind that, ultimately, the decision or the final determination of who is guilty and who is not guilty is made not by the investigation, as is known, but by the court. The investigation is only one side in the process. There is also the defense. Therefore, the prosecution and the defense must present their arguments.
...all of this must be determined by the investigation, carefully analyzed, and presented to the court, both with regard to all the individuals involved in the case who are currently being investigated, and with regard to other individuals. Until this is done, he and other individuals are presumed innocent; I would ask you not to forget this."
