Original Note:
Trump has not been found guilty of any crime, rather he was liable for damages based on his actions. "Guilty" or "not-Guilty" verdicts are only handed down in criminal cases. In civil cases, like this one, the jury finds 'for' either the plaintiff or defendant. https://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_education/resources/law_related_education_network/how_courts_work/verdict/
