I can't really think of a case where someone's been declared guilty by the press without some sort of proof because it would be dangerous for them to do so since they could get done for libel.

I understand what you are saying, and it may well be true. But people can if they want co-ordinate an attack on someone that is completely false. Then people say ... no smoke without fire, and they are guilty before they know it.
If people are guilty, get them in front of a court and prove it, until then they are innocent.
