Literally speaking, he IS innocent... he is to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Of course the court of public opinion and common sense have already made up their minds... but until a court of law bangs the gavel, he is “innocent” in he eyes of the law. Pure semantics, but correct in their literalism.

Semantically, correct. However, this young lady could have made that observation if that is how she meant it. No, she meant it to mean innocent, generally, of all charges.

Actually, I have to walk my former comments back. This nutbag chick actually said THIS: "These two young men were wrongfully accused of something they did not do"

Pretty straightforward. She's not using semantic nuances, she's stating outright that they did not do the bombings.
