The "requirement" to defend if you are innocent is degrading and I can understand perfectly well why he elected not to defend. It has no relevancy on his guilt or innocence. Also,If you believe everything you read in a newspaper that is not refuted is true, not all your beliefs will be true. It will serve you well to always carry around healthy dose of professional skepicism. Btw, we're talking about a program that plays a "game" -- in the big picture it may be that important to Reul to defend.
