NY Times reporter loaded remarks to Jackson jurors

Was it ignorance, stupidity or a deliberate attempt at misrepresentation when the NY Times reporter said while framing a question to Jackson jurors "you found him innocent", when they did no such thing. They found him "not guilty", which is not the same as finding him innocent. Then the reporter went on and referred to statements made by "prior victims" which prompted one juror to immediately mutter "alleged,....alleged victims".

If it wasn't deliberate, then the NY Times needs to find more qualified reporters. If it was deliberate, was this reporter really that clever to do this in order to elicit remarks that might not have been made?

Ahoy from the Captain.
