“””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.”

I have served on several juries. There is a huge difference between innocent and not guilty.

[P.O.E.]

Presumed innocent until proven guilty

I have almost always been rejected and always by the defense. You're better at interviewing than I am. If I'm ever called for a gun rights case though, I'm going to make a serious effort to be truthful but not helpful and do so in a manner that will get me on the jury.

Given definition 1.c quoted as free from legal guilt or fault, please justify that response: what is the difference between 'not guilty' and 'innocent'?
