POI

...it's short for Presumption of Innocence. I'm used to hearing it ignored by local reporters. but less commonly on the network level. On NBC's newscast this evening, teasing a story about the arrest of a suspect in the murder of the Yale University student: "We'll tell you how police got their man". Really? Thanks for concluding that he's guilty, Brian, saves us all the trouble of that messy trial process.
