I'm not assuming that Mr. Norris is guilty, but I'm not presuming he's innocent either. The doctrine you're quoting is ONLY reserved for the courtroom, and the government is allowed to gather evidence to prove his guilt (and rightly so).
Please point to the portion of the full article that discusses Mr. Norris's innability to redress the "abuses" by the government. 6 months is not an unreasonable amount of time for the government to try to put together a case, especially considering that smuggling typically involves a much larger operation than a single individual. Why do I get the feeling that there are potentially more suspects in this case than just Mr. Norris?
