You're using "innocent until proven guilty" wrong.
I’ve been seeing this a lot lately. Please explain.
In Scotland at least presuming the defendant is innocent until the trial is concluded is pretty simple. It’s usually reserved to judges, journalists and jurors but so long as we all accept here that the investigation hasn’t concluded so to not be 100% on anything just yet they aren’t using the phase incorrectly.
It is also a figure of speech which in that case they definitely are not using incorrectly.
So please explain because I’m genuinely at a loss here. Perhaps the American system is more different than I thought.
