    Yes innocent until proven guilty, I think the context for this is once one is found guilty. Hypothetically, if someone is smiling in their mugshot after having just been arrested with a bloody knife in their hand, when sentencing comes they could push for a longer sentence due to a lack of remorse. But I’m not a lawyer, just speculating.
