Innocent = he had not committed an offence
Apparently Innocent = he had not been convicted.

If I didn't steal your sweets and you accuse me I'm still innocent.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Anyone else find this whole phone hacking/Leveson business the most long winded, tedious, drawn out news story of all time?
Sick of hearing about it. A total non story.Comment

Originally posted by VectraMan View PostBut how can an employer reasonable ascertain that somebody is innocent rather than "apparently innocent", when there hasn't even been a trial yet? They can't. So you either don't hire someone just because they've been accused of stealing sweets, or you assume they're innocent until proven guilty.
I don't think he had been charged at the time of hiring?Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
