#1) Juries do not find people "innocent!" (#2) No not automatically. The record of your arrest and offense, and your charge, and the not guilty verdict will appear unless/until you request that it be expunged.

Any crime committed by an adult for which the person was found 'guilty as charged' is never expunged from a criminal record and follows a person through life. The exception would be if the person at some later date is proven to have been innocent of the crime, even though originally found guilty. Crimes committed by children/youth also remain of record but are never made public.

I believe what you are asking about is a method of removing this crime from his record (i.e.- he would like his record 'expunged'). If that is correct - he would have to submit a petition to the court requesting that his record be expunged, including good reason why this should take place. On the other hand: If you believe he was innocent of the charge for which he was convicted, you would have to 'appeal' the original verdict by requesting a judicial review and/or a new trial.
