No, you become guilty of a crime when you commit it, and remain guilty
of it forever, regardless of whether the legal system finds you guilty
or innocent, and regardless of whether or not you ever get punished for
it. What does change once you have been fully punished for a crime is
that you no long are owed any more punishment for it.

There's a legal concept that someone who's been accused of a crime is
entitled to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. The presumption of
innocence does not make the accused actually innocent, if the accused
did in fact commit the crime. Having been proven guilty in a court of
law doesn't make the accused guilty if the accused did not in fact
commit it. This phrase is simply a summary of how the legal system is
supposed to treat you, to give you a fair chance to defend yourself.

It also doesn't apply outside the legal system. If you actually
witnessed a crime, you're not required to pretend that the perpetrator
is innocent, and if you've witnessed something exonerating, you're not
required to accept the decision of a court that incorrectly found
someone guilty. When making decisions that are not related to punishing
someone legally, such as whether or not you want to invite an accused
murderer to dinner, you're entitled to rely upon the preponderance of
the evidence you're aware of - you don't need to wait for the legal
system to make it's decision on the matter.
