Assange seeks asylum in Ecuador

[ZuWo]

What puzzles me is the prevailing attitude of some people here on the forum and other supporters of Assange that accusations of rape don't need to be cleared up if the accused person is one of the "good guys". This is a concept of law that I don't quite understand.

Moreover, Sweden isn't a banana republic. There are good reasons to believe that the Swedish legal system would handle this case in an independent and fair way.
