Actually nobody is found innocent at a trial, they are found to be guilty or not guilty.

But as to the original post, I was joining you in kidding the original poster.

Sorry, didn't catch that.

Actually nobody is found innocent at a trial, they are found to be guilty or not guilty.

They actually are found to be innocent: [1] a : free from guilt or sin especially through lack of knowledge of evil : blameless
b : harmless in effect or intention ; also : candid
c : free from legal guilt or fault; also : lawful

Just because the standard term is "not guilty" does not mean that is substantially different than the phrasing "was found to be innocent."
