Is it possible to be innocent in state court but guilty in federal court?
Yes it is but technically, even though the actions charged are the same the laws charged have to be different. It has happened that a person has been found innocent of a murder in a state court, but later charged with and found guilty of violating or depriving the victim of his/her civil rights by causing the murder. The action is the same, the murder, but the charges are different. This is actually a very fine distinction and not everyone would agree that this is not a violation of the right against double jeopardy.
When does a suspect become a defendant?

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.
Which court determines guilty or not guilty?

But the most useful and best source is what? You guess it lets say it together " A Witness" that can testify in court. If you have a witness on your murder case your then your looking at a possible conviction!.
