What is Order Of Acquittal?
An order of acquittal is the formal finding of a "not guilty" verdict in a criminal trial.
After what vote is the defendant immediately released?
A defendant is typically immediately released after a vote of "not guilty" by a jury. This verdict indicates that the prosecution has not met the burden of proof required for a conviction. In some cases, a judge may also order a release if a motion for acquittal is granted before or during a trial. However, if the defendant is found guilty, they will remain in custody until sentencing.
Can they change not guilty to guilty after they read the verdict on the same day?
Never heard of this happening, but I do not believe that it oculd the way you describe. Once the verdict is announced from the bench - THAT is IT! They would have to re-open the trial, or have a whole other hearing before they could just change the delivered verdict. Would need to know more about the circumstances in order to comment further.
What standard must the prosecution meet in order to get a guilty verdict?
Beyond a reasonable doubt is the standard which must be met for a guilty verdict. Of course, the interpretation of this depends on the individual. The jury is given guidelines as to what beyond a reasonable doubt means, but in the end, the individual jury member decides whether he or she feels the guilty standard of beyond a reasonable doubt has been met. ADDED: Insofar as a CRIMINAL trial is concerned, the original answer is correct. For a trial involving violation of CIVIL law, the standard sounds similar but is actually quite different. The benchmark to establish guilt in a civil trial is not 'beyond a resonable doubt,' but only establishing a "preponderance of the evidence."

What must the prosecution prove in order to get a guilty verdict?
There is no finding of GUILTY or NOT GUILTY in a civil trial. The verdict is announced as either "FOR THE PLAINTIFF" or "FOR THE DEFENSE." The burden of proof in a civil trial is "THE WEIGHT OF THE EVIDENCE" as opposed to the criminal court standard of "GUILT BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT." They may sound similar but they are NOT the same.
