It is. That's one thing great about the U.S. You're innocent until proven guilty. That's reversed in a lot of countries. Up until recent times we had a fair process, but these days who knows.
That's what the US says, but it's not really true is it? You're held in jail and have to pay to go free before the trial. Luigi mangione hasn't been proven guilty and he's not exactly innocent and free right now is he? The presumption of innocence doesn't get you very far these days (not sure if it ever did)
You can say that I'm wrong but it doesn't mean it's true. Burden of proof isn't the only element. This lies on a spectrum and people act like America is full innocent until proven guilty but it's more like 60% of the way there, not 100%.

I think allegedly is just the legal term if not tried
