Not Guilty
A plea by the accused in a criminal action that denies every essential element of the offense charged. 287 F. 2d 435, 440–441. A plea of not guilty on arraignment obliges the government to prove the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and preserves the right to defend.
128 F. 2d 265, 273. A jury verdict of not guilty does not mean the jury found the accused innocent, but simply that the state failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. 87 P. 2d 251, 256.
not guilty by reason of insanity
a special form of verdict or finding usually followed by commitment of the defendant to a mental institution. The insanity defense differs from other defenses in that if successful, it is not an acquittal and does not result in the outright release of the accused unless the defense is temporary insanity and the court finds that the defendant poses no present danger to himself or to others. LaFave, Criminal Law §4.6 (4th ed. 2003).

"Not Guilty" is a song written by George Harrison. It is featured on his 1979 album titled George Harrison and on The Beatles' Anthology 3 album. While Harrison's solo version is mellower and features acoustic guitar and electric piano, The Beatles' original version is harsher, driven by distorted electric guitar and harpsichord.
History
An acoustic demo of the song was recorded during May 1968 at Harrison's Esher home. This version has never been officially released, but is available on numerous bootlegs. Although The Beatles worked on the song for at least three days in 1968 during the The Beatles sessions, that version was not officially released until 1996 on Anthology 3, using "take 102" as edited and remixed by Geoff Emerick in 1984 for the aborted Sessions album.
Harrison commented about this song: "I wrote that in 1968. It was after we got back from Rishikesh in the Himalayas on the Maharishi trip, and it was for the White Album. ... 'Not guilty for getting in your way/While you're trying to steal the day' — which was me trying to get a space. 'Not guilty/For looking like a freak/Making friends with every Sikh/For leading you astray/On the road to Mandalay' — which is the Maharishi and going to the Himalayas and all that was said about that. I like the tune a lot; it would make a great tune for Peggy Lee or someone."[1]
