I'm terribly sorry if my standard of journalism doesn't meet your exacting standards, but I'm writing on a cycling forum, not the (insert quality newspaper of your choice here, as personally I think they are ALL shite).
As has been said, there's more than a little nit-picking going on over the title. It was CM who initially brought the matter to the attention of the Police, who reported it to the CPS, who presented it to the court, where the defence ripped it apart, and the jury found the accused not guilty. Or innocent, if you prefer. I couldn't be arsed fitting all that into the title, as IMHO that is what the initial post is for. So I went for the easy option, figuring that most people would be able to figure it out. Which they did!
