Sarah: "...Chaimfan you are making a huge accusation, that you have only minor proof for..."
Actually Sarah, there is no proof whatsoever; only baseless allegations.
Torah students know this behaviour as "casting aspersions".
Looking at things from around the globe, the Chinese have an ancient saying...
"It is easy to come up with the evidence, once you've already convicted someone of a crime."
The American Founding Fathers designed the most radical Court/Trial system in all of recorded history:
A person is INNOCENT of a crime until PROVEN GUILTY.
Therefore, the casting of aspersions, along with "manufacturing evidence", is in theory to be unacceptable as evidence to convict.
Torah Law is remarkably specific regarding trial procedures for someone accused of a crime; particulary with regards to capitol offenses.
Torah devised the uniquely Jewish concept of "Sanctuary".
A person who, for whatever reason, took someone else's life by accident with no forethought to doing so, was legally allowed to immediately depart for one or more "Sanctuary Cities", where they were allowed to live out the rest of their lives undisturbed and in peace. They were granted asylum.
Torah is more strict that U.S. law regarding accusations of murder.
Under Torah Law, whomever accuses another of murder, is required by law to "cast the first stone" at them in executing them by stoning.
Not only that, but a person under Torah Law can not be found guilty of murder for circumstantial evidence.
Example: You hear bloodcurdling screams coming from a building. As you approach, someone runs out with a bloody sword or knife in their hand. Torah Law forbids charging them with the murder, as it is entirely circumstantial evidence...someone could easily find a murdered person, pick up the weapon which had killed them and then was dropped by the fleeing murderer, and be found by others in the act of holding the weapon; thus appearing guilty, but in fact being entirely innocent of a crime.
Torah Law demands several eyewitnesses to swear under oath to having witnessed a murder, before it allows a suspect to be charged and convicted.
Talmud states that casting aspersions on another; thus embarrassing them publicly, is equal to breaking the commandment "Thou shalt not commit murder", because the law reads such that to become embarrassed, which causes the face to flush red with blood, is tantamount to "shedding the blood of another". Interesting, huh?
