The jury returned a "Not Guilty" verdict
A jury verdict of 'guilty' signifies that it is probably a criminal trial. A judge cannot overturn a jury verdict in a criminal trial.
It means that they have - AFFIRMED THE VERDICT OF THE TRIAL COURT.
Test
a person
Civil trial: motion for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict, or a motion for a new trial Criminal trial: motion for a new trial I have no quantitative evidence to back that up. It is just an educated guess.
The Court can enter a JNOV, if the evidence presented is insufficient to support the verdict as a matter of law. One of the parties may appeal. If there is a legal defect in the trial, the appellate court may reverse the verdict and require the trial court to have a new trial.
I assume you mean the verdict (as opposed to the sentence).
Usually, at the end of a trial a jury will render a verdict. A verdict could be guilty or innocent depending on what the jury believes. Sometimes, there is no verdict and a mistrial can be declared and the case can be retried.
Guilty
A person that is feeling guilty or innocent.
