until then you are simply a human that other humans have opinions of, just like everybody else.
So I could murder someone and unless I'm caught I'm not a criminal. That doesn't sound right.

As to 2) Am I a criminal just because they have the power to back there claim up? Even if I( didn't commit the crime.
