They retain the presumption of innocence as there was insufficient evidence for a trial.
The AG erroneously declared that he believed them to be innocent. He had no right to say that.
The only valid statement he made is this:
"The result of our review and investigation shows clearly that there is insufficient evidence to proceed on any of the charges. Today we are filing notices of dismissal for all charges against Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and David Evans.
The result is that these cases are over, and no more criminal proceedings will occur. "
That he went on to state his personal belief has absolutely nothing to do with their "proven innocence". Didn't happen. And apparently, never will now.
