not guilty scum - just means you have not been able to have the allegations against you proven beyond reasonable doubt, it doesn't mean the court found you innocent

You are innocent unless proven guilty.

No, presumed innocent.

The point is a not guilty finding is not proof of innocence, it's just a failure to prove guilt. To prove innocence is much tougher.

The Australian legal system is a joke. Without naming names, I have a friend in jail who is completely innocent... And it still breaks my heart thinking about it. Because the guy was Asian, the jury stereotyped him in with the CBD violence. I was at the trial, and I swear to god they were bored after day 1, coz they found him guilty just by looking at him. I have no faith whatsoever in the jury system. I learnt a harsh lesson in reality that day. YeaH he is due for parole soon, but what future does he have with a record?
