The Spin

This is a spectacular fall from grace for the mayor of America's largest city. While law does not require him to step down if an indictment comes, it is more than likely that his position would become untenable.

While this indictment, if proven, would be shocking, America operates on the notion of presumption of innocence. Adams is owed that much, at least, and we should be careful before jumping to conclusions.
