You must not be familiar with our court system. I can assure you—you are not truly innocent until proven guilty in the US. If you were then how do we have people sitting in jail waiting a trial? We like to say innocent until proven guilty but the actual process is anything but that.

...

People are held if they are a flight risk or if they are a threat to the community. All issues that have to be cleared with the court and are not binding with regards to guilt. I’m sure you can nitpick some more if you want, but it has nothing to do with the case in question.
