   It doesn’t and anyone who declares a court found someone innocent is incorrect.

   The legal system is subjective, it is a system built on belief and not fact.

   I am offering no judgment, just a statement of its condition. Even the precept “innocent until proven guilty” applies to a presumption rather than a fact and the subjective influences of the judges and juries are inherent in the process.

   It is a leaky boat that has the purpose of keeping the ship of state from sinking.

   Action defines the actor. Judgment assigns guilt.

   Some evaluation of one’s actions, in comparison to some standard undefined or well-defined, applies the accusation of guilt.

   Without judgment, the responsibility of the generative source for the action and the results of the action still exists.

    You and I are not a US court, we can use any terminology we want to express our beliefs.

    A US Court has no rendered status of innocent though.
