No, an accused person was not considered guilty until the outcome of his trial or hearing. Then he was either guilty or innocent.

Even in the case of major crimes, such as treason, which would be tried before the senate, a person was free and told when to report to the senate for trial. A person assumed guilty would not be awarded this freedom.
