          Yes breaking the law is a “crime” but to be a criminal you need to have the verdict saying you committed it. Innocent until proven and all. A “not guilty” or null result means not a criminal.

      Thank you!

      Being neutral cute both ways, he is innocent until a jury of his peers decide to vote guilty.

      Just hope he doesn’t sign a confession, there is plenty of resources for him to fight this.

      Also, I think all people charged with a crime deserve this benefit or the doubt.
