    You simply refer to it as “alleged” until found guilty/liable when referencing someone doing something criminal or similar.

    They could also get by with quoting that judges opinion, so long as they made it clear what they are quoting.

    But a judge presenting an opinion regarding a ballot removal in which the accused was not entitled to a thorough defense and the standard being held was “whatever the judge personally felt best” rather than the more rigorous standards of a criminal trial was probably enough for their legal department to insist on the “alleged”.
