So your definition of the word criminal only extends to people who got caught and convicted? In your definition a murderer who hasn’t been caught is not a criminal?
No, he’s not, because nobody has proven that he actually did murder someone.
Saying someone is a criminal without any actual evidence and due process is possibly very harmful for that person, you’d agree if someone accused you of doing something you didn’t do and faced having your life ruined over such a baseless accusation
