Original Note:
In the criminal justice system, a verdict of “not guilty” does not equal “innocent.” It means the prosecution has not met the legal burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. You do not have to prove you are innocent to be acquitted. https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/not-guilty-and-innocent-problem-children-reasonable-doubt https://www.amacdonaldlaw.com/blog/2016/may/what-is-the-difference-between-innocent-and-not-/
