@linear1224 Gaslighting is one way to put it. It is essentially lying about what really happened until the person breaks down either through sheer fatigue or self-doubt. The term originates from a play involving an abusive husband and his suggestible wife, the husband would change the lighting level of the lights around the home and various other things. Then when his wife would confront him about it, he'd lie and say they were always that way. He did this to plant a feeling of constant self-doubt in her so he could get away with much more grievous acts by lying.

@Dazzletoad The real reason why "innocent until proven guilty" is a thing is because logically, it is impossible to prove a negative. Easiest example; I'm an (agnostic) atheist and even I acknowledge that I cannot prove that God does not exist. Gnostic atheists claim to do so and that is why they end up making themselves look foolish (the classic "fedora tipper" atheist). This is because an obtuse person could come up with "well what if" scenarios until the end of time that you could not satisfy. To put it in a court scenario, if you were accused of a murder and had to prove your innocence, even if you had a rock solid alibi a corrupt prosecutor could say "Ah but actually that was your UNKNOWN-UNTIL-NOW TWIN BROTHER who was gone that day" or something equally ridiculous. You would have to fend off accusations until the end of time.
