In short, I dont get why anyone says innocent until proven guilty when its clearly not true

I understand what you're saying, but at the same time the courts are in a no-win situation, because if they don't allow the press, then they are accused of hiding the truth, and not being "transparent".
It's a difficult balance between transparency and openness, and trying to protect the process from outside influence.
