He was proven innocent in court

He was acquitted, meaning it couldn’t be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that he was guilty.

He was proven liable in the civil trial. The additional evidence uncovered by the lawyers in that case was damning. Civil trials typically don’t require a unanimous verdict, but it was unanimous in this case.

What a terrible headline.

Fixed it: Murderer whose trial riveted the nation.

Person who was charged and put on trial for murder died. It’s a legal term. Journalists can get sued for defamation for blatantly calling someone who is not convicted a rapist or murderer. You can safely call OJ an armed robber and kidnapper though.

That’s why the talking heads on tv tend to dance around the terminology and say “allegedly” and “accused of”

Not guilty is not the same as innocent.
