When I see reports of people being beaten or cars being stolen...

it is always reported as; Allegedly.
The person was beaten, the car was stolen, the latest one I read, (background) a male threw a homemade bomb into a crowd at a rally in Perth.
Reported as; a 31-year-old man allegedly threw a homemade fragment bomb into the crowd.
There is video evidence showing him throwing the bomb, allegedly does not come into it.
