The presumption of innocence is what is called a legal fiction.
A guilty man is guilty because he did it, not because a group of people called a jury believe he's guilty, not because a judge says he is guilty, not even when he confesses to being guilty.
An innocent man remains innocent even when convicted, even if he pleads guilty to minimize the damage.
It's only has to do with how we, as a society, have agreed to treat them in the eyes of the law.
He never was guilty.
