I don't know of any actual USA law that states a citizen is
presumed guilty until proven innocent.

*Legally*, innocence must be presumed until guilt is proven
in order to avoid violation of due process and civil rights.
If the verdict is "not guilty" the presumption of innocence
legally continues (at least until the civil trial).
