AFAIK, that's because you're presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Newspapers are supposed to write articles that way or they'd be sued for libel successfully if they guy got off on a technicality. Usually, they use the term "alleged".
Still funny as hell though...what a dumb thing to do...
