I get confused with these legal situations surrounding football players and the media. As it stands…

A few weeks ago Greg Inglis was accused of assaulting his then girlfriend.
He was next charged of this crime.
His club ‘the Storm’ suspended him indefinitely from playing for the club
The media went nutso with the story
Then yesterday the case was adjourned – not thrown out
Today Inglis is back playing this weekend.

Nothing has officially changed. He is still accused of assault but the medias perception has changed from him being guilty to maybe not so guilty.

I do not understand why this can occur when an official judgement has not been made in court.
