But I used the term in general, like those that are on bail against a criminal charge etc. I thought the poor and > unconnected are guilty till proven otherwise, and the rich and > connected are innocent as you can't prove otherwise.

I have that problem when people usebillions or millions of rupees, rather than lakhs and crores. But I've been told its all about your audience. :)
