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.
Peterson was entitled to a speedy trial by a jury of his peers, which he received. He was also, under the law, innocent until proven guilty. He was proven guilty. Other than that, the murder of his wife and unborn son resulted in new legislation making it first degree murder to kill an unborn baby by first killing the mother.
