Correct.
Not a chance in hell that you ought to be able to be released on bail, but yes, innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
That applies to the Chuck Mansons of the world, as well.
It is a check and balance on our system of justice. A second opinion that due process was followed and that "obvious" guilt is indeed guilty.
