I don't get it... we use "alleged" a lot, but shouldn't there be circumstances where it's just plain fact? Like.. caught in the act, etc. You fail the breathalyzer test, plus you run people over... like at what point can we just go ahead and call a spade a spade? pfft!
I'm pretty sure it's so journalists don't get sued for libel. And you can drop 'alleged' after you've been convicted, AFAIK
