I've heard of innocent until proven guilty, and guilty until proven innocent but here we have the media inventing guilty after proven innocent!! Amazing!!

You're wrong. Juries can't find anyone "innocent," only "not guilty."

And in our country, i.e. Innocent until proven guilty, that means you are innocent, i.e. finding one 'not guilty' in the USA is continuing their 'assumed' innocence. No splitting of hairs, just the results are the same. But you make a good point as we all remember OJ!! ;-)
