Guilty Until Proven Innocent—Episode 2: Power, Perception & the News Cycle

Episode 2 of Guilty Until Proven Innocent is here—where public perception isn’t always reality. Hosts Eugene Collins and Ron Haley planned to cover mental health in high-profile professions, the “Molester Mayor” scandal in DeRidder, and Donald Trump’s attack on NIL—but breaking headlines forced a pivot.

Shannon Sharpe’s Settlement

Haley, a Shannon Sharpe fan, unpacks the former NFL star’s legal battle. From a $10 million offer to a $50 million lawsuit, leaked texts, and a quick settlement, the hosts explore perception versus reality—asking, do older men always hold the power in consensual relationships in the internet age?

Mayor the Molester

The duo questions why society often reacts differently when grown women have sexual relationships with teenage boys versus men with teenage girls, stressing that both are devastating.

Sweat Equity vs. Intellectual Equity

Closing out, they compare Trump’s NIL executive order to billion-dollar AI investments, calling it America’s “salary cap” between physical labor and intellectual property.
