The court does not declare any one "not innocent" when a verdict of "not guilty" is reached any more than it declares them "innocent." The court is directed to opperate on the presumption of innocense until Guilt is proven. If Guilt can not be established the only other "legal" verdict is "Not Guilty" based on the evidence available to the court. You have stated your self the possibililities that do not add up to innocence. <<Because the the idea is so simple that no one ever thought even a guy like you could screw it up!>> Innocence 1. Uncorrupted by evil, malice, or wrongdoing; sinless: 2.a. Not guilty of a specific crime or offense; legally blameless: was innocent of all charges. b. Within, allowed by, or sanctioned by the law; lawful. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language Ok, you want to take the first part of definition '2a' out of context of the other definitions. That is simple enough. I don't want to screw it up for you inspite of the personal low blows you keep attempting. My point has been only that the legal system does not simplify it to that extent, for the reasons we've both recognized.
