In legal proceedings, statements like this are allegations. They are not considered to be true or factual until proven in court. You'll see the word allegedly used even if it seems very obvious that someone did something because that is the correct way to report it.
You say it like it’s a bad thing, personally I prefer the innocent until proven guilty approach
I could just see something like the defendent somehow getting a guards gun and shooting a jury member.
The next day they are in court, 1 dead juror missing, and telling the jurors he allegedly shot at them.
I know that wouldn't happen, but would be funny (ignoring the whole murder part)
