What happened to 'innocent until proven guilty'?

Did you see the mess the attacker had made of the victim's face - I can't believe you are justifying the vicious attack solely on the unsubstantiated word of the assaillant!

It went onto life support in 1997, and died a few years later.

Update
Quote:

A teacher who struck a pupil with a dumbbell has been acquitted of attempted murder and causing grievous bodily harm with intent.....

....Harvey had returned to work after being signed off with depression and stress for several months.

But the court heard he had been mocked by pupils moments before the attack.

He had denied attempted murder and causing grievous bodily harm with intent, but admitted a charge of causing grievous bodily harm without intent.

The jury at Nottingham Crown Court took less than two hours to clear the father-of-two.

The court heard that he shouted "die, die, die" as he bludgeoned the boy with the weight after the pupil swore at him.

It emerged during the four-day trial that pupils at the school were trying to wind up Harvey so his reaction could be caught on a camcorder being used secretly by a girl in the class.

The footage was then to be passed around the school as a way of "humiliating" the teacher.
Still no excuse for what he did, but gives a bit more of the whole picture.
