. . . you are "innocent until proven guilty" but a jury declares you "guilty" or "not guilty?" Why aren't you "not guilty until proven guilty" or "guilty or innocent?"
Haha--yes! I feel as if there must be some sort of reasoning behind it--that if they feel they have enough evidence to charge you with a crime and bring you to court, that you're not actually "innocent." I don't know how I feel about it, but it's the only way I can figure to reconcile it--and I'll too lazy to google it! :)

I have wondered the same thing!
Great minds think alike, obviously.
