pick out of the words.

If you rob a store, regardless of what the courts say, you robbed the store, you are watching the HDTV you took, you know you are guilty, but the courts could not prove the case against you. You are guilty of theft/robbery and you know it. But you are free.

And it is NOT that you are 'innocent until proven guilty', you are merely 'presumed' to be, and that isn't even in the constitution, it is merely implied.

<snip>First, it should be pointed out that if you did it, you're guilty, no matter what. So you're not innocent unless you're truly innocent. However, our system presumes innocence, which means that legally speaking, even the obviously guilty are treated as though they are innocent, until they are proven otherwise.
The concept of the presumption of innocence is one of the most basic in our system of justice. However, in so many words, it is not codified in the text of the Constitution. This basic right comes to us, like many things, from English jurisprudence, and has been a part of that system for so long, that it is considered common law. The concept is embodied in several provisions of the Constitution, however…”


That seems fairly straightforward. Got it now?
