My search...."Hirono believe the women guilt before innocence" because this was huge w/ Dems while Repubs believed the opposite.
"Senator Mazie Hirono's comments have sparked significant debate and criticism regarding the presumption of innocence in the United States.

This perspective has been criticized for potentially undermining the presumption of innocence and due process in legal proceedings."
