It does. Innocent until proven guilty.


Presumed innocent.

You don't become guilty or innocent based on legal proceedings. The point of a case is to establish guilt for the purpose of punishment.

But an innocent person doesn't become "guilty" even when the evidence shows that in the court. A guilty person remains guilty whether a court can prove it or not.
