If you were found guilty by the courts, then yes in the eyes of the courts you have a committed the crime. If and when there are appeals, new evidence, or overturned verdicts, then that evaluation would change.

The whole point ends up being that criminal as a word has a specific definition, and those who have been convicted of crimes fit that definition.
