They've already been proven guilty. Notice the use of the word "appeal." You don't appeal if you haven't been proven to be anything.
This is a circular argument. The whole point of the appeal is the accused was wrongly convicted. My understanding is that the accused is under no obligation to prove his innocence at any stage of the criminal justice process.
