Which largely assumes innocence until guilt is proved.
What about those who don't accept that definition, would it be fair to force them to "accept" that ? And if a person is proved innocent, based on evidence gained via torture, would that be fair ?
I think this subject is a case, where you seek a black/white answer to a very complex situation. You could ask yourself, who's treatment you want to be fair, and who should find it fair ?

I don't have the insight in matters surrounding that trial, to make judgement about it's fairness.
EDIT: inserted a missing "ask" in sentence
