Right. I never understood it until I pulled jury duty myself. "Not Guilty" does not necessarily mean someone is "Innocent". Everyone on the jury knew the guy was guilty ("Guilty as hell." is how the foreman put it.) and said so in the deliberation room. But, the only thing we had to go on was an assumption by the arresting officer. No eye witnesses. Not enough for a conviction.
Guilt has to be proven, "....beyond any shadow of doubt.". That's our Constitution. Don't like it? Go live somewhere else.
