Depends on the context. If you are arrested for exaggerated claims, this would refer to 'trumped up charges.' If someone falsely implicated you, you were 'framed.' If there is more than one person or organization working towards your unfair conviction, you are being 'railroaded'

What is the difference between innocent and not guilty?
Innocent means you are innocent of a crime.. That is you did not commit it. A court (jury/judge) will not find someone "innocent". They can't say that you did not commit a crime, they can only decide for "not guilty" if the evidence presented is enough that you are believed to have committed a crime (guilty) or not (not guilty).

If you meant '...to be insane...' - they could be tried for a lesser crime. For example, if someone was proven to have been temporarily insane at the time they murdered someone, a judge could direct the jury to find them '...guilty of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility...' instead of the more serious crime of murder

To convict a person of a crime a court must find the person guilty by?
A judge or jury must reach the decision that the defendant is guilty beyond a REASONABLE doubt. Not beyond ALL doubt - just "reasonable" doubt.
What word has a definition of found not 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.
How can a judge find someone guilty on felony vop and gave him a sentence that is absolutely crazy even though he has not went to trail on the charge that violated him How can this be appealed?
No, it can't be appealed. You don't get to go to trial on a Violation of Probation. because you have ALREADY been found guilty of whatever crime you were originally charged with. The judge's sentence after finding you guilty was - probation. The only thing you had to do in order to remain out of jail was follow a few simple rules. If you violated these rules that means you can't be trusted with your freedom and the judge can revoke your probation and remand you to jail to serve the time for your original crime behind bars. If your VOP consisted of committing an additional crime, then not only to you get VOP'ed, but you can be charged with the new crime as well. Probation is not a 'get out of jail free' card.
