Those in a much more informed position found him not guilty of ALL charges.
Right, they found him not guilty, but "not guilty" != "innocent". In fact a defendant can't be found innocent, so perhaps the quote should be "Innocent until tried" or "Innocent until found not guilty or proven guilty." It seems like a bargain pretrial, you get to be innocent for a while. Hmm...maybe that could be a poem. Ah just for fun here's one for MJ, it's no ode but then I never promised a rose garden.

You're innocent for only a while,
Before they take you off to a trial,
and the jury comes in
finds you guilty as sin
Then there's never a reason to smile.

But the witness had made a mistake,
Your lawyers cried foul, she's a fake!
the jury agreed
and you have been freed
Just avoid setting up a remake.
