Or "police say..." he killed Scott Tiller, or that Roeder "is accused of killing...".

No more of that nonsense. He. did. it.

1. Yes. It wasn't nonsense. It was a legal requirement.
You remember that "innocent till proven guilty" bedrock of our justice system? Do you?

2. As annoying as it was
the terminology was correct.

Innocent until proven guilty.

3. Yep.
And now they have to call him "convicted killer," because that's what he is.

4. You are correct. I was going to say that as hateful as it was
that's the way it works in this country. Innocent til proven guilty. Not guilty til proven innocent as it is in the British Courts.
