Both. At his criminal trial the jury found him not guilty, not because they thought he was innocent but because they felt the prosecution did not prove their case. In criminal trials the jury can only return a guilty verdict if they felt that he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. In Simpson's case there must have been some doubt in their minds. Reguardless of all the physical and circumstantion evidence that the prosecution put forth at the trial, Simpson's attorneys put enough doubt in their minds. So he was in fact guilty of 2 murders but was found not guilty.
At his second trial he was found responsible for the murders of his ex-wife and her friend Ron Goldman. At a civil trial a jury can decide guilt and it doesn't have to be beyond a resonable doubt, but just has to be probable and likely. And it was this civil trial that was Simpson's undoing. He was ordered by the judge to pay the Brown and Goldman families millions of dollars in damages. He tried to hide his assets so he wouldn't have to pay the damages. He stole at gun-point his collection of Sports Memorabilia so he could stash them where the court order would not be able to find them. He is now serving 9 to 25 years for armed robbery in a prison in Nevada.
