It means he is treated as being innocent.
Whether you ARE innocent depends on whether you committed the crime or not. If someone commits a murder and gets off through lack of evidence does that mean he is innocent? No, it only means he is to be treated as innocent because his guilt cannot be proven. But he IS still a murderer.
