Turtle, you don't really understand how FTP operates if you think it's akin to our judicial process.

FTP releases the accused no information throughout the investigation, not even the charge.

Then, after many weeks have passed, FTP's final judgment is issued. If guilty, you have no recourse for appeal. FTP's decision is final, right or wrong.

in our judicial system, if you are found guilty, is the court's ruling not final? Of course you can appeal, just as you can to FTP, but thats not going to get you anywhere.

So how can anyone who is innocent and knows it feel good about this process?

I understand your points, but what i'm trying to say is.. even if the person is innocent, FTP cannot know that until they have finished the investigation. So releasing information to the parties involved would , as FTP Sean put it, "If we disclose details of a case before it is complete, we may be jeopardizing future progress or developments in the case".
