That IS the verdict: NOT GUILTY.
That IS the verdict, NOT GUILTY
A person is never found innocent. A person is found guilty or not guilty at the verdict phase of a criminal trial.
the person found guilty
The witness's testimony was found guilty, therefore the suspect was claimed innocent.
It means that the person was JUDGED and found GUILTY.
Once they are arraigned. This occurs when a suspect (now a defendant) is brought before a court and informed of the charges against them, which is when they must offer a plea of "guilty", "not guilty" or in some cases "no contest" (nolo contendere).
They go to jail for a number of years depending on what was stolen.
They are arrested!
The inheritance would be held in abeyance until the accused has been found guilty. A person found guilty of murder cannot inherit from that person's estate by will or by intestacy, nor can they benefit by virtue of survivorship.The inheritance would be held in abeyance until the accused has been found guilty.

The word "innocent" means the same as "not guilty". But nowhere apart from Scotland is anyone "found innocent". That is because in all common law systems, accused persons are presumed innocent unless proven to be guilty. If there is not enough proof that the person is guilty, he is found to be "not guilty" even though there is no proof of his innocence. The OJ Simpson case is a case in point. One court found that there was more evidence of his guilt than there was of his innocence, but another court found that there was not enough evidence of his guilt to find that he was proven guilty of the crime. He was therefore found not guilty although no court would find him innocent.
The person in a criminal trial is the defendant. When found guilty, the person is convicted and sentenced. The person then becomes an inmate or convict in the prison system.
