What is guilt and innocence?
In criminal law, "guilt" is being found to be involved in the commission of an offense. "Innocence" is not having been involved in any offense. CAUTION: The terms "innocent" and "not guilty" are NOT synonymous - do NOT mean the same thing - and do not have the same meaning under the law.

the commission is the act of doing, a conviction is the act of being found guilty of doing by a court.

Are you CERTAIN that he was found not guilty by judge and/or jury? If he was, and he's still on bail, then he must be charged with some other offense for which the court has yet to act.
