A wrongfully accused man is always vilified by the ignorant masses. Such a man should fire at will, he is bound to hit something. What do you think the speaker of the quote means? Is a person who is acquitted of a crime, that they were wrongfully accused of, ever really seen as innocent again by their peers? what would you do if you or someone close to you was wrongfully accused of a crime?
What I believe the speaker of the quote means is that no matter what, someone who has been charged of committing a crime will always have that bad stigma with society, no matter what he does. There will always be a group of people who still thinks he committed the crime or won't trust him because of the image he once held. The only thing he can do is keep pleading his innocence and maybe one day he can change peoples minds or strike a cord with at least someone.
I think if you are acquitted and beyond a doubt proven innocent of a crime you were charged for, then there is no way your peers can't think your innocent. There definitely will be some guilt from the people that without a doubt thought you did it, but, your real friends and family will have already known the truth and they are ones that really matter.
If I was wrongfully accused of a crime I would do the only thing you can do, continue to plead my innocence and hope for the best. Or I'd pull a Shawshank Redemption, bust out of jail and live the rest of my days on the beach with Morgan Freeman.
