    Guilty’s meaning depends on whose the listener

    That you present the set of possible states of guilty poorly aside, are assuming everyone shares your POV.

    I can present your bullshit more clearly. So lets do that

    For someone to be labeled a criminal they must have been convicted in a court of law by their peers and all avenues of appeals have been exhausted. This is the only situation where the word criminal can be used by anyone besides paid liers and illusionists.

      No it’s a poor journalistic standard to cast guilt before trial. If some random person was saying it who cares. This is a large public facing news entity though.
