Maybe it means they're innocent in the eyes of the law, that doesn't mean they're actually innocent though.
I know in Cliff Richards case it was dropped because of lack of evidence, not because he had evidence to prove he hadn't done anything. So therefore its a "one word against another" that doesn't mean he's innocent
Prosecutors announced on Thursday morning that there was "insufficient evidence to prosecute"
