Jackson - proven innocent?

Michael Jackson has been found not guilty on all counts, Radio 4 told me. However, they had a commentator on who kept saying he had been 'proved innocent' - this is nonsense! He hasnt been 'proved innocent', rather, he has not been proved guilty - there is a difference! The Prosecution have the burden of proof in a trial - it is them trying to prove the defendant's guillt. All the defence do is try to stop the prosecution proving guilt. If a defendant is acquitted this does not mean he is proven innocent.

Right, got that off my chest...
