<<This is not inadvertent on the part of the media. It is, in fact, a considered decision to use the word "innocent" in place of the words "not guilty." This policy is to ensure that in the event the word "not" was somehow dropped from the text the individual being discussed would not suffer harm, and, no doubt, that the media source would not suffer a lawsuit.>>
