ok... you are presumed innocent... right up until the point that you are found guilty. Same difference.

[eridius]

Not really. If you really are innocent then no evidence can possibly change that. But if you're merely presumed innocent, then new evidence can prove your guilt.

And in the case of a civil suit there's no double jeopardy, so you can't even say it doesn't matter.

[jack-r-abbit]

true on that.
