Does “wrongfully convicted” mean “total innocence” or the use of a loophole??

In American jurisprudence there is no verdict of innocent. Once your case has made it to trial, you cannot be found innocent, only ‘not guilty’ which isn’t quite the same thing.

Does the word "Nifong" mean anything to you? Check out the case of Joseph Amrine, who was completely innocent of the crime of murder that he was charged with, and convicted of. In fact, one of the eye witnesses against him WAS the murderer.
